The Bay is a beautiful and peaceful town on the Australian east coast; a melting pot of city escapees, alternative lifestylers, feral dropouts, lost souls, backpackers, and men and women in search of love and a new sense of identity. When Sydney corporate wife Holly Jamieson turns forty-five she shocks her husband by buying an old house in The Bay with plans to transform it into a charming B&B. What began as a gesture of independence changes her life. Holly soon discovers that beneath its tranquil surface, the Bay is a whirlpool of passions and conflict. It was once a whaling town, then a sleepy resort that became trendy, and now developers are moving in for the kill. Holly, her family, and an unusual band of new friends are in the battle lines and not always on the same side.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Di Morrissey writes lyrical, romantic novels set in distinctive Australian locales. THE BAY features a tropical coastal village in eastern Australia inhabited by the descendants of whalers and newcomer bohemian types, as well as drug addicts and dropouts. Into this mix comes Holly Jamieson, suburban housewife, who is planning to run a B&B in an old sea captain's mansion. Popular Australian actress Kate Hood narrates the story in a brisk yet smooth voice, capturing the essence of each character and enchanting listeners with the author's beautiful descriptions of the landscape and shore. The story, while charming, is overly long and features a distractingly large cast of characters, but the community portrayed seems real, and its problems are ones listeners can appreciate.
