Discretion Point

As Kate and Ray March head for the Discretion Point Resort in Australia's tropical north, Kate - eager to bring renewal to their lack lustre relationship - thinks she is going to enjoy a relaxing holiday with her husband to celebrate their 20th Anniversary. However, after a tumultuous road trip fraught with mishaps, Kate spies her first true love and her predictable world is shattered. The story not only explores the hearts and minds of a host of believable and interesting characters, it also looks back to the events unfolding at home in Sydney, both with Kate and Ray's three children and their flamboyant Uncle Perry, as well as the conflicts that arise in their business. As Kate explores her beautiful tropical surroundings, she is also forced to explore her conflicting aspirations. Kate has to make a decision that could have devastating affects on the lives of the people she loves, but she unwittingly gets caught up in a tropical cyclone and risks losing not only her husband, and her former lover, but her own life as well. In an epic battle with the elements, readers will be on the edge of their seats as they discover, with Kate, that the struggle she had experienced with her conscience is nothing compared to the chaos she faces caught up in the fury and devastation of Cyclone Ului. A heart rending drama unfolds, resulting in a tragic loss of life and a re-birth of faith. Discretion Point is powered by strong narrative and well-drawn minor characters who admirably serve the themes of loyalty, choice and discretion throughout the novel. In the end, Kate draws on an inner strength she has always possessed and her own indefatigable nature. Discretion Point is the story of one woman's struggle to come to terms with her past, which collides with her present in a 'Back to the Future' style blast.
