The Kookaburra Creek Café

$30.00

Signed Copy

Heart-warming and charming women’s fiction – the multi-generational story of three women in the small Australian town of Kookaburra Creek.

Welcome to the Kookaburra Creek Café.

THE PAST

For Hattie, the café has been her refuge for the last fifty years – her second chance at a happy ending after her dreams of being a star were shattered. But will the ghosts of her past succeed in destroying everything she’s worked so hard to build?

THE PRESENT

For Alice, the café is her livelihood. After Hattie took her in as a teenager, Alice has slowly forged a quiet life as the café’s manager (and chief cupcake baker). But with so many tragedies behind her, is it too late for Alice’s story to have a happy ending?

THE FUTURE

For Becca, a teenager in trouble, the café could be the new start she yearns for. That is, if she can be persuaded to stop running from her secrets. Can Becca find a way to believe in the kindness of strangers, and accept that this small town could be the place where she finally belongs?

One small town. Three lost women. And a lifetime of secrets.

‘Docker soars from the absolute heart, as she rebuilds all our lost souls in a café to call home.’ AUSTRALIAN WOMEN’S WEEKLY

‘The Kookaburra Creek Café ... is a sublime testament to Australian small towns and the colourful inhabitants that populate these hidden locales.’ MRS B’S BOOK REVIEWS

‘A magical debut novel exploring love, loss and hope in rural Australia.’ WOMAN’S DAY
