An unlikely encounter on Melbourne's Station Pier.
She is restless, unpredictable, fiercely alive.
He is a dreamer whose one dream invariably leads to another.
Then a passionate journey across countries, desires and contradictions begins.
Elle et Lui ? Helen and Louis ?were never destined to fall in love, but they do.
A love that cannot steer him away from the great dream of greening the Australian Red Centre.
Or bring her son back to her.
Or stop other forces gathering around them.
Money, power and opportunity take an interest in Louis's vision, and draw their lives into far more dangerous territory.
A story of love, ambition and the seductive power of impossible dreams, this novel is also a warning:
Don't fall in love with a dreamer.
Because sometimes, love is not enough.
