Peppercorn House

Felix Carrington helps run the family's wedding venue business as the in-house wedding photographer for Carrington Farm. His personal passion though is taking glorious shots of the region around him.

And it's through an unlikely friendship with 84-year-old Winnifred Knightly that Felix is able to take frequent photos in his favourite place, Peppercorn House with all its faded grandeur and mysterious history.

Winnifred Knightly still grieves over the losses of her childhood but in her long life she's learnt to be grateful for the present. She believes herself to be an excellent matchmaker and plans to bring her 'adopted grandson' Felix and her favourite aged care worker, Jasmine Clarke, together as her final project.

However the past has the power to impact the present, whether that's from the long buried secrets of an old house or the scars of a bygone relationship. For Felix and Jasmine to have a future, they must face these ghosts of the past.

'I was impressed by the compassion, sensitivity, empathy and understanding of the real issues at stake across our distanced communities.' Mrs B's Book Reviews on Summer at Kangaroo Ridge

'... heartwarming, and emotional, with plenty of romance, but also family dynamics, and decision making at pivotal points in their lives.' Beuaty and Lace on Summer at Kangaroo Ridge

'... a wonderful, rich tale confronting the devastation of tragedy, the very real desire to discover the truth and the healing power of love to be able to accept the past and begin to build a new future... heart-warming, captivating and absolutely perfect for a cold, wet, winters day snuggled up in front of the fire.'
