Finding Joy in Oyster Bay

When former journalist-turned-café-owner Kate Jackson abandons her six-month-old baby and disappears without a word, the quirky boat-access community of Cook's Basin quickly steps in to salvage a delicate and difficult situation. But even the best intentions can go horribly awry. Relationships are tested, loyalties divided and the future of the beloved Briny Café - the beating heart of Cook's Basin - comes under threat. It takes a group of bossy retirees to navigate the brittle twists and turns of the grim past to point the way towards a hopeful future. Alive with the colourful culture of a tight-knit community, Finding Joy in Oyster Bay celebrates life, love, courage and the power of forgiveness.
