Educating Alice: How a city girl found love and a new life in the outback - then nearly lost it all by Alice Greenup

'A girlfriend should know her place, Alice. First comes the mates, then the
ute, then his hat, dogs, horses and last of all the girlfriend. Get that right and
you might just stick around. Try to jump the queue and you're History.'
   'Well then, I'll just have to be his mate.'
   'Girls can't be mates, Alice.'
   'We'll see.'

A footloose city backpacker who couldn't tell a bull from a cow was hardly
the ideal candidate to answer an ad for a governess on a Queensland cattle
station. But Alice Greenup was game for anything, until she fell for a 
handsome young jackaroo with a devastating smile. It was the start of a
whole new way of life as Alice gave up her-city-chick persona to embrace
the bush and all that came with it: horses, cattle, the obsession with rain
- and the correct way to wear a hat.
   After overcoming more than a few obstacles, the unlikely couple
eventually married, then gambled their dreams on a vast property
called 'Jumma'. It was a huge risk but with a lot of love, blood, sweat
and tears, they were on their way.
   Until one morning a routine muster went horribly wrong.
What followed would test their love to the limit ...
