As two couples begin the adventure of a lifetime, the highway in front and the caravans behind, they're all looking forward to the excitement and freedom of life on the road. But underneath, doubt lingers for two of the travellers. Not about their carefully planned trip. The doubt relates to something more personal than that; their marriages.From Tropical North Queensland, across the Top End into the Kimberleys, down the west coast to Perth, across the Nullarbor, over Bass Strait, and up the east coast of Australia, both couples find that adventure comes in many forms.The experiences, and the memories, they create are often extraordinary. But, sometimes, the experiences and memories are ones they'd rather forget.By the end, both couples have to decide if they've grown too far apart or whether the trip provided the new beginnings they were looking for.

The exquisite, vintage, mint green dress first captures Izzy's imagination. But it's what's underneath the dress, laying at the bottom of the dusty trunk that continues to intrigue her-fifteen leather-bound diaries. Starting in 1919 and continuing until 1969, the entries tell the story of Grace-through love, loss and a secret that would destroy the life she has if it was ever revealed. The more Izzy reads, the more she wants to know about Grace. But as Grace's story, along with her secret, begins to reveal itself, Izzy soon finds herself untangling a story of her own. Who is Claudia and what does her arrival mean for Izzy and her family?
