The Bush Beckons

"I reckon if there's a heaven on earth, this is it. Lying under an open sky shimmering with stars, my dog and I drift into fearless sleep to the crescendo of cicadas . . . A family of cackling kookaburras and hordes of chirruping crickets call in the morning. The bush beckons us into endless rising dawns and settling dusks, out of earshot of any motor, and with only safe adventures waiting around every bend in the dirt track . . ." When a fatal car accident uncovers her boyfriend's infidelity, Linda's seventeen-year-old heart shatters, seemingly beyond repair. Even her treasured horse brings no comfort. Aimlessly, she becomes entangled with a law-breaking boss and is soon staring down the barrel of criminal charges herself. The losses keep rolling in as she wakes from surgery to be told she may never conceive a child. When a Fraud Squad Detective offers some fatherly advice, it will take all the courage she can muster to run from an abusive relationship. Unbeknown to Linda, God is also pursuing her, but she is blind to His love and deaf to His knocking. The Bush Beckons is the true story of God's relentless, redeeming love-not just for Linda, but for anyone who struggles to find hope or to believe that God could love so broken a person.
