Monday's child is fair of face,Tuesday's child is full of grace,Wednesday's child is full of woe,Thursday's child has far to go ... Maggie is Thursday's Child, a spirited girl growing up in an English country village surrounded by apple orchards and hop fields. Neighbours are friends and the local landowner, the Squire, is a fair, decent man to his workers. Life could be idyllic, if not for the unwelcome intrusion of air raids. This is 1941 and WW2 is raging. When peacetime is finally declared in 1945, it seems the war is over - but through tragic circumstances Maggie realises that war comes in many guises. Life changes from one of happy frivolity to loneliness and rejection. However, the village, her friends and a deep fascination with a four-penny stamp from a country far away that she has never seen but yearns for all give Maggie the strength to keep moving forward. Ultimately, Maggie learns the most valuable of lessons - to believe in her dreams and in herself.

Maggie Harris has left the quiet English village of her birth, with its apple orchards and all the people most dear to her, and travelled to Australia for the adventure of her life... Despite all her planning, nothing can prepare her for when she arrives at McKinnley Sheep Station, in a blaze of dust and barking kelpies, and straight into the turbulent path of Jack McKinnley, the station owner's handsome son and his dangerous girlfriend. The chemistry between Maggie and Jack is undeniable from the start, but Maggie knows she must keep her feelings to herself for the well-being of all concerned. But can she? Will true love find a way or will she be destined to watch as the man she loves is deceived? The compelling sequel to Thursday's Child, From Orchards to Outback continues Maggie's inspiring journey as she discovers that friends are indeed the family we choose.
