Description
Flying solo can be harder than it looks ... A warm-hearted rural romance about finding your way home.
Flying solo for the first time had been the greatest high of Anna Kelly's life. So when the chance of a dream job as a pilot with the Royal Flying Doctor Service comes up she takes it, even though she has to leave her home in Adelaide and move to remote Broken Hill - a place she had hoped she would never see again.
The bad memories the town provokes remind Anna why she keeps men at arm's length but as her work proves fulfilling, her housemate becomes a friend and a warm community grows around her, Anna is surprised to discover that Broken Hill is starting to feel like home.
But there is no such thing as plain sailing and with errant mothers, vengeful ex-patients and determined exes on the prowl, life is becoming increasingly complicated. More than that, the distractingly attractive Flight Nurse Nick Harrison seems keen to get to know her better, and he has a way of finding a path through her defences. But will he still want her if the truth comes out?

Anna Kelly loved her job as pilot with the RFDS, and now based in Broken Hill, her old home town, she was finding things much the same as they’d been all those years before. The only issue she had was her fifteen-year-old daughter, Isabelle whom she’d left in Adelaide - and missed desperately – she was living at the boarding school and Anna’s sister Teresa was on hand if Izzy needed anything. Anna settled in easily in Broken Hill, house sharing with Beth.
Nick Harrison was in Broken Hill as a fill-in casual Flight Nurse – his life in Sydney had imploded and Broken Hill was where his mother was; where he’d lived for much of his youth, so the offer had come at an opportune time. His mother was misbehaving, as she was wont to do, and his frustration with her continued…
With their shift work often coinciding, Anna and Nick became friends, although Anna kept her emotions firmly locked away. Flying to outlying properties and rural districts to take clinics, pick up patients and transfer them back to Broken Hill or Adelaide was the dream job Anna had always wanted. But trouble had a way of finding Anna – and Nick as it turned out. What would be the outcome for these two friends?
Home at Last by Aussie author Meredith Appleyard is a delightful medical rural romance, set in and around Broken Hill, NSW, with the RFDS (Royal Flying Doctor Service) at its centre. The vast countryside and fascinating insight into the RFDS culture was well done. I’ve loved this author’s previous work, and this was no different. Highly recommended.
With thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my digital ARC to read in exchange for an honest review.
