Keepers (Keepers Book 1)

Paperback

Cheryl Burman

At eight months pregnant, Raine shouldn’t be on a jolting bus crawling through snow searching for her husband. He might not want to be found. She might not want to find him.

When Raine Merrett’s beloved Pop falls ill, her family is forced to leave the peaceful countryside for a migrant camp on the flat plains outside post WW2 Adelaide. Life in the cramped Nissen hut is harsh, but Raine tackles her hated new life with gritty persistence.

Teddy Greene, newly arrived in Australia from war-torn London, shares Raine’s struggles.

But when Teddy and his best friend rescue Raine from a drunken attack, their heroism ignites a whirlwind of passion, uncertainty, and heartache.

Caught between the expectations of her times and her own desires, Raine's struggle to discover where her true path to happiness lies will test both her courage and her resilience.

Inspired by true events, Keepers is an emotionally charged story of love, abandonment and self-discovery.
