BEN

From the winner of the Western Downs Library Mini Romance Competition 2011 NOW WITH 3 BONUS CHAPTERS Set amongst the glorious hills of Rathdowney, Ben is the story of two young boys (twins), growing up on a property just outside of town. Raised by a single mother this book follows their lives as they learn all about the reality of living on a farm, how to ride a horse and to fix a fence. The joys of new borne calves and the sacrifices that have to be made. Cattle lost and new friends made. New family, new routines and new places to explore. A strong bond between them and their Uncle is quickly formed while an almost absent father has little input in their life. And at an early age Rodeo becomes an addiction while their mother struggles to find a balance. Birthdays celebrated, losses mourned and doors closed. Dance hall brawls and long rainy afternoons. Broken bones, broken hearts and new beginnings. This book holds true to life on the land and is an unforgettable must read. This is the first book in the Gap Creek Series.
