This romantic fiction spans generations as it tells its tale of love, friendship, family, loss, betrayal, and adventure set in Queensland, Australia. The story starts with Bombilla, a child of Mapoon Tjungundji, one of the seven tribes of the seven rivers in Cairns, Queensland. Captured by the Native Police, he is turned over to Revered Smith who made him part of his mission work with Aboriginals. After serving a few years with Reverend Smith, Bombilla, now known as Bobby Miller, works for the Flanagan homestead as a houseboy. There Bobby finds love when he meets Marli. They get married and have a son, Billy. Billy later on marries Lucy, and they become second-generation mission blacks. Billy and Lucy have two children: Neville and Melanie. Neville is given the privilege to study in Saint Joseph with other white students. There he meets James MacLachlan and Molly Callaghan. James MacLachlan comes from an affluent family that seemed to have it all, but unbeknownst to all, family secrets will shape the future for James. Molly Callaghan comes from a simple family and meets Andy Wilson at a young age. They become fast friends and grow up together. As they grow up, their friendship turns to love but young love, in the impatience of youth, ends prematurely. In a twist of fate, Molly meets James and they get married, while Andy works with Neville and meets and falls in love with his sister, Melanie. From this moment on, the lives of Neville, James, Molly, and Andy will be intertwined in ways they cannot imagine as they go through adulthood, marriage, grief, and betrayal. Mix in the rich history of Queensland, shipping business, drugs and organized crime, and rich characters, will our main characters survive the threat of death? In the end, will they finally find the love that they all seek?
