Australian grazier Maddy Rainforth breathes one dream: producing the finest Merino wool the world has ever seen. But farming in Australia is punishing - Maddy must battle and adapt to devastating drought, bushfires, dust storms and the attitudes of a growing industry ruled by the old ways. Fortunes can be made and lost all on the turn of a season, and Maddy gambles everything she holds dear in pursuit of her greatest passion. Out of the ashes of the catastrophic years of World War Two, haute couture rises in popularity and European ateliers search the world over for quality fleece and fabric. Soon the prestigious Paris Wool Prize comes knocking, asking for more than Maddy can give. Can she compete on the global stage when the odds are stacked against her? For fans of The Dressmaker, The Paris Seamstress and The Woolgrowers Companion, this is a sweeping story of love, legacy and obsession from one of Australia's best-loved authors.
