    Event description

    We're excited to welcome author Meredith Appleyard to the Gawler Civic Centre Library to celebrate the release of her new book The Seachangers.

    Join us as Meredith chats with Sonja Lawrance about her newest novel. 

    It's never too late for a new beginning!

    Cutlers Bay. Business boomed, but five years on the shine has worn off. Where has that other Ruth gone, the independent, feisty

    woman who'd had the courage to sell up in the city and move to the country? Even the bathroom mirror is reflecting back someone

    she doesn't quite recognise: greying hair, wrinkles, the sparkle all but gone from her blue eyes. Ruth is convinced she has to make

    a change - if only she could decide what. After a lifetime of hard work out bush, Hamish has retired to the city for a life of

    comfort and ease. It's what he always dreamed of, so why doesn't he feel satisfied? When his 89-year-old father dies, Hamish

    comes to Cutlers Bay to settle his affairs. At first, packing up the house and renovating it to sell is both a filial duty and a welcome

    project to fill his days. As the work energises him, Hamish wonders: was retiring a mistake? The longer he's in town, the more Cutlers

    Bay starts to feel like home. And a certain cafe owner makes the idea of staying there all the more appealing ..
