A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Jo Jackson King is the author of the award-winning and best-selling Station at Austin Downs. An occupational therapist, she works with remote communities in the outback. A gifted writer with extensive rural women's networks, Jo is a School of the Air mother and veteran of late-night talkfests between women where the conversation veers away from school and land care and becomes about love.  So when asked what angle she might take on a book about outback women she said: 'it is always love that keeps or pulls women into the outback towns and properties and those are the stories I want to tell'.
