While living in Boston, she meets neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni) and believes she may very well have found her soul mate.

Join us to hear acclaimed author of Salt Creek, Lucy Treloar, chatting about her newest novel.
For all her life, Till has lived in the shadow of the abduction of a childhood friend, wondering about whether she might have been able to stop it.
Finally, at the age of twenty-three, Till flees her past and the hovering presence of her fearful parents. In Wirowie, a town that’s on its knees, she stops and slowly begins creating a new home, rebuilding an abandoned railway station. But there is danger here too, and Till must ultimately decide whether she can turn from her fear-filled past and face down, even pursue, the darkness that suddenly looms so near – or whether she’ll flee once more and never stop running.
Both a reckoning with fear and a recognition of the power of belonging, Days of Innocence and Wonder is a richly textured, deeply felt new novel from one of Australia’s finest writers.
Lucy Treloar, acclaimed author of Salt Creek and Wolfe Island, will discuss her latest novel, set in a town in South Australia, inspired by Lucy’s family ties and visits during the writing process.
