When her husband departs, her adventure begins...

1933. In the tiny outback town of Bittamilla, Winifred Peters buries her husband after decades of dutiful silence, surrounded by her thankless grown-up children.

On discovering a surprise inheritance, Winifred makes a sudden decision to leave town, and when she encounters a young wife taking refuge from her husband,

the two women board a train to bustling Sydney.

The city brings unexpected adventures, new friends and the chance to finally find their voices. But when the past catches up with them, will they be able to hold on to their fiercely won freedom?

Readers have fallen in love with Winifred Peters:

'Winifred is a heroine for anyone who's ever felt overlooked, underestimated, or quietly furious. Peppered with mishaps, laughter, and the kind of friendships that feel like lifelines'

'Well, Winifred Peters is quite a character. Her adventures made me laugh out loud several time while reading this book'

'Very enjoyable... reminded me of Miss Benson's Beetle so if you liked that book you will enjoy traveling along with Winnie'

'Written with a lot of heart and humour. It was uplifting and illustrated that one is never too old to transform their life for the better'

'A truly enjoyable read. I was completely invested in Winifred's story'

'Fun and heartwarming, with a satisfying ending. Recommend!'
