Returning home from the Great War to New Zealand and their farms at Middle River, Tama Ratahi and Richard Murphy held the same hopes of family life, but fate leads them down very different paths. Tama, a natural leader, sets his sights on realising his long held dream of becoming a lawyer.
Richard succumbs to the bottle as he seeks to destroy what he wants the most while those who love him bear the brunt of his drinking, his rage, and his fist. But while Tama and Richard’s futures are very different, they are forever united by their past and what happened at Chunuk Bair.
At home on the banks of the Mokau River, life hasn’t proved any easier for Sean Murphy as he realises that as a landowner and businessman, he has become the person he left his native Ireland to escape. His frustrations fracture his marriage to the point where Gwyneth considers leaving, but she is fated to meet the man, and the relationship she ran away from as a young woman and her decision is taken out of her hands in a way nobody ever expected.
This is the story of the so called ‘Lucky Years’, where for some, there is prosperity, but for others World War One has forever ripped apart the fabric of their lives. It is the story of struggle and of success where families come together or are torn apart to find love wherever they can.
