‘Skeletal remains unearthed at the site for the new therapy wing of Wauchope
Hospitalɉ۪
A front-page headline for the local paper in an outback-Australian town will
prove that some secrets are too large to be taken to the grave.
When Jason Colby, an obsessed and determined journalist stumbles onto the proof
his family have been unsuccessful in finding over the past fifty years, he will
awaken the dark truth of the Mackenzie/Bening family; but he is unprepared for
the consequences.
In search of the story of his life Jason will go back to ‘Bluegums’ and
to the Australian way of life in the early 1900’s where he discovers the
true life of the beautiful and extraordinary Elizabeth Barton Mackenzie.
He also uncovers the tragedy and triumph of her daughter Isabella who bore the
burden of a mother motivated by loyalty, driven by love and tormented by betrayal.
Having unearthed the tragic saga, Jason returns to the city to reveal his proof
and confront the descendants of Elizabeth —only to realise that the spirit
of Elizabeth and Isabella is very much alive in the bewitching eyes of Alexis
and her sister, the defiant and tenacious Nicole Bening.
