How will they fill the void?
Will their friendship survive? Catherine is characteristically unfazed, forging ahead in her high-flying career while struggling to connect to her unfathomable teenage daughter. But secrets from the past emerge to shatter her carefully constructed image, and threaten all the relationships she holds dear.
Meanwhile Lexie is juggling the demands of her young family and the ego of her hardworking husband, while taking the first tentative steps to achieving her own dreams. She just wished Annie was around to talk to — Catherine is so bossy, and Rachel … well, her head seems be more in the clouds now than ever. Jo had learned the hard way that life was not mystical, or magical; it was hard and grey and cold most of the time. Much better to see it for what it is than to be perennially disappointed.
She was going to be a journalist and travel the world, but life had a way of stealing her dreams right out from under her. Okay, she had her column, but heaven forbid she had an opinion about anything that mattered.
That is, until she crosses paths with Joe Bannister — a celebrated foreign correspondent, returning home to care for his dying father, take the pressure off his long-suffering sister and maybe pull his recalcitrant brother into line.
He did not expect to find himself falling for a headstrong woman who seems to resent him. But after devastating news, Joe is forced to make an impossible choice, and Jo must fight hard for everything she never believed in — success, self-acceptance, and above all, real love.
Helen always tries to be a good person — she recycles, she is even polite to telemarketers. But it only takes one momentary lapse of concentration to shatter her life forever. There was no such momentary lapse for Gemma, she had never done anything by halves, and she had certainly never been quiet about it. With a beautiful house in an upscale Sydney suburb and two successful careers, anyone would think that Mac and Anna have the perfect life.
But their marriage is cracking under the strain of infertility. Consumed by her dream of having a child, Anna cannot see how her pain and disappointment are driving Mac away. Then Liam walks into the bookstore, and Georgie thinks she has finally found just that. At the same time Mac and Anna reach breaking point, putting Mac on a path that will have unforeseen consequences for them all. As one of the top fashion photographers in the country Jack knows all about ambition, but he's become bored with the picture-perfect women who surround him and he finds himself enchanted by independent Kate.
So how did they end up, almost a decade later, estranged, still nursing long held pain and regret? How did Jack find her, and what does he want with her son? As family secrets are revealed, and lies — so many lies — unravel, a tragedy brings them once again into each other's orbit. Set against the backdrop of Sydney in the s, the fashion houses of Paris, strife-torn Ethiopia, and all the way back to a house overlooking the beach on the picturesque south coast, Jack and Kate is a captivating tale of first love and second chances told with Dianne Blacklock's trademark warmth and humour.
