Synopsis

For bargeman Sam Scully, life in Cook's Basin is nothing short of paradise. A wonderland of golden sand and turquoise waters, battered old tinnies and wonky pontoons, it's a realm unspoilt by the modern world.But then a notice goes up in the Square that screams ‘EXCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT!' Paradise is about to be ripped apart. With plans underway to build a flash resort in the heart of their community, the residents leap into action – but it's not going to be easy to turn the tide of ‘progress'.The sequel to the bestselling The Briny Café is a heart-warming, inspirational novel about taking a stand against all the odds.
