Thank you for coming on this journey—one that all started late one night while driving along a quiet country road, when a song sparked an idea that kept twisting and evolving until I finally put it into words. Even if it took 20 years from when I first heard it, the story has continued to grow and take shape. It has been a challenging yet rewarding process to craft it into something that can not only be read but truly understood.

Frustrating as it may have been at times, I hope it brings you enjoyment, and I sincerely appreciate you choosing to spend your time discovering Sam's story. As he manages a vast sheep, cattle, and grain property, Sam is most at home behind a mob of sheep, droving them along the endless laneways of Western Australia's scenic Midwest. As the story unfolds, we uncover the mysteries that surround his aunt—will we ever truly understand who she was, or perhaps more intriguingly, who she really is?

Your support means the world to me, and I’m so grateful to have you along for the ride. Thank you for being a part of this adventure!
