Nothing Without You

BOOK 1 - SALTWATER ROMANCE



At age fifteen, Evie is uprooted from the familiar embrace of her small-town life, leaving behind her father and childhood sweetheart, Chris. The year is 1977, and her new home in North Queensland becomes the canvas for her rebellious awakening, a place where the mixture of sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll paints the backdrop to her newfound independence.



In the lush rainforest nearby, she embraces a life unfettered by rules and boundaries. Yet, as the wild ride unfolds, it takes a dangerous turn. In the depths of despair, she longs for the simplicity of her childhood and yearns for the sun-soaked beaches of Stradbroke Island and the warmth of family and friends.



Amidst the turmoil, Nothing Without You weaves a poignant narrative of first love, intricate family dynamics, and the resilient spirit that whispers hope during the darkest hours. Set against the backdrop of a saltwater haven, this profoundly moving love story navigates the ebb and flow of life's challenges. It is a tale that lingers long after the final page is turned, promising a journey of survival, self-discovery, and the enduring pursuit of happiness.
