This is one of the darkest of the Billabong books, as Norah and Wally's gaily adventurous spirits come up against real pain... In the aftermath of sending a brutal man to prison... Wally starts to suffer from "nerves"—in other words, depression. Norah takes him and their toddler Davy on a second honeymoon, touring rural Australia. But the wife of the imprisoned man, bitterly lonely and resentful and full of thwarted love, crosses their paths, and little Davy is too much temptation for her.
