"In the small Australian town of Hatton River, Liv, a 30-year-old bookworm and would-be librarian, suffers the loss of her only living relative and goes deaf overnight. With her former home now bequeathed to two distant cousins, and her former workplace (the local library) closed due to funding cut-backs, Liv takes a live-in job at the exclusive Cottonwood Retreat, a wine-country resort fifteen kilometres outside her town, a move that helps her to escape local whispers about the role she played in her aunt's death ... Within the story, several themes emerge: grief and loss; the definition of family; change and discovery; living in a small community (which we all, to a certain extent, do); friendship; connection and, just maybe, love."--Provided by publisher.
