AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Running Against the Tide is a novel about long-held grudges, prejudices and love triangles in a small town where lives are tangled too closely together.

'Erin Travers is running away from her life and taking her two sons with her to a small town on the Eyre Peninsula. This small, beautiful township is interwoven with happy childhood memories for Erin. But the past never stays the same and she is bringing a whole lot of baggage with her. When the peaceful community is disrupted by arson and oyster theft, everyone has different ideas about who is responsible. Old grudges are brought up, and fingers are pointed and secrets unmasked.'
