The Sunshine Coast News — Kate Austin

Since when did life ever tell you where you were going?

Josie Harris always drew comfort from the thought that she lived a charmed life. Unexciting, perhaps, but stable and predictable. In a rut? Josie counted that as luck -- at least one knew what would happen next.

Then disaster struck. Her parents moved across the country, she lost her job and, worst of all -- after more than forty years of marriage, her father announced he was leaving her mother. Some local hussy had lured him away! What kind of senior community was this?

Josie knew it was time to take charge. She had to make her parents see sense. So she drove across to the Sunshine Coast and was soon immersed in a new job, new community...and most of all, a new and totally unexpected love.
