The Good Women of Safe Harbour by Bobbi French I won this novel as a door prize at a neighbour's birthday party and I couldn't have been more thrilled (I never win anything!).

We have seen the power that one small choice can have on a community, a nation, on the entire world, both for the good and the bad.

I’m writing this to the ones who feel scared and overwhelmed right now. Who feel that heavy cloud come over them the second they read the news headlines.
