title: Whispers At Wongan Creek
author: Kees, Juanita
description: Wongan Creek has a second chance at life, but new possibilities unearth longburied secrets...   Travis Bailey may as well  be  Wongan Creek. His family has farmed canola for generations, and he sometimes feels like he holds the community together with his bare, dirtstained hands. Between caring for the farm, his orphaned niece and his elderly, ailing neighbour, he doesn't have time for himself. He doesn't have time to fall in love.   Social worker Heather Penney is living on borrowed time. When her mother died of Motor Neurone Disease, she took the initial blood tests and now nothing is guaranteed, let alone a future with a family and a home and a child. Wongan Creek, and its resident protector, might be getting under her skin, but she can't afford to get attached.   But even as a new mine revitalises the small town, old secrets threaten toresurface, and Travis and Heather find themselves fighting to save the farms and the futures of Wongan Creek's longtime residents  and possibly their own lives.
