CAN BEA & CALLUM find love?
CAN BEA & CALLUM FIND LOVE?
Honey Hill House
When newly-divorced Bea Elliot rents an old farmhouse for a dollar a week in country New South Wales, she dreams of a successful B&B that will prove her strength and independence to her family—and herself. She definitely does not plan to fall in love.
And while Callum ‘Mitch’ Mitchell supports his ailing small town’s scheme to end their ‘people drought’, he’s determined not to get too close to the newcomers. Sure, his good manners mean he’ll be friendly and helpful but experience has taught him that romance and out-of-towners don’t mix.
Which means he definitely can’t have feelings for his tough, beautiful new next-door neighbour Bea Elliot.
If good fences make good neighbours, what happens when the barriers come tumbling down?

"I finished this book some months ago now, and it has remained with me ... which is always the sign of a great read. 'The Shape of Us' is a novel about one of my favourite things ... relationships. Relationships with partners, friends, and most importantly, the relationship we, as women, have with our bodies. This is an important book, and one everyone should read. Highly recommend with five well-deserved stars."
“Lisa Ireland gets right to the heart of female friendship, exploring topics every woman can relate to.”
"A fabulous story about friendship and family. Family can often be found where we least expect it, and the bonds we form can happen in the most unlikely circumstances. I genuinely could relate to so many of the things these women were thinking and going through. I think the biggest thing I learnt was to learn to be happy with who you are, no matter your size and to grab those special friendships when they come along."

"I just have the biggest grin on my face after reading this book!"
"Lisa Ireland is one of my go-to authors, and 'Honey Hill House' is keeping her on the top of my list.
Ms Ireland writes with a deft touch, bringing the small town of Dulli to life and populating it with characters we can all identify with."
"'Honey Hill House' by Aussie author Lisa Ireland is the second in the 'A Dollar For a Dream' series...A delightful trilogy set in and around the fictional rural outback town of Dulili and written by three different Aussie authors, they can all be read as stand-alone books. 'Honey Hill House' depicts strong characters who are real and down to earth – they could be a best friend, or a sister of a friend – anyone you know. Beautifully done and very well portrayed. Highly recommended."

The Story Behind the Story...
This book is part of the “Dollar for a Dream” series, which I co-wrote with authors Jennie Jones and Catherine Evans. (First published in the anthology Last Chance Country.) Each book is a stand alone, but they share characters – all of whom live in the tiny town of Dulili.
This was honestly the most fun I have ever had writing a book! I loved having two other authors to bounce ideas off and who cared as much about the project as I did. The stories are all quite different but I think they work perfectly together.
Honey Hill House is a story about survival – both for the town and my protagonist, Bea, who is getting her life back together after surviving a life-threatening illness. This idea was originally sparked by a photo of a tattoo! I saw a gorgeous image of a woman who had a butterfly tattooed on her chest. She had the tattoo done to embrace her mastectomy scar and her story really moved me. It got me thinking about women who survive breast cancer and what this means for their lives going forward.
