After the tragic death of her husband, Jenny travels to Churinga, a remote sheep-station in the Australian Outback that he intended to give to her for reasons she doesn't understand. Churinga is harsh and unforgiving, but also has its beauty...and its secrets.

The more time Jenny spends on the farm, the more she is aware of the lingering presence of Matilda Thomas, Churinga's former owner, and the more she wonders just what she is doing there. As Jenny fights to take control of her new life, she discovers some surprising secrets about the station itself and its enigmatic previous owner—the mysterious Matilda—leading Jenny to wonder if inheriting the station has been a blessing or a curse.
