From the class divisions of depression-era Glasgow, to the rolling pastures of a rural Tasmanian sheep farm. An unforgettable story of passion, love, secrets and loss.

Beattie: Glasgow, 1929. Beattie Blaxland had dreams. Big dreams. She dreamed of a life of fashion and fabrics. One thing she never dreamed was that she would find herself pregnant to her married lover, just before her nineteenth birthday.

Emma: London, 2009. Emma Blaxland-Hunter was living her dream. A prima ballerina with the London Ballet, she had everything ...until the moment she lost it all. Separated by decades, both women must find the strength to rebuild their lives.

A legacy from one to the other will lead to Wildflower Hill, a place where a woman can learn to stand alone long enough to realise what she really wants.
