                                          KEYS TO BRYNLEITH

A suffocating marriage. A journey across the globe for a new beginning?

1974. Grieving for her stillborn son and unwilling to settle for a half-life with a husband she no longer loves, Tayte Murdoch makes a bold decision. Sensing fresh opportunities in New Zealand for her teaching career, she arrives at Brynleith, the sheep station owned by a distant uncle. Instantly comfortable with Adam Leith and absorbed by working at a local school and helping archive the history of Brynleith, Tayte quickly settles into her new life.

Then she stumbles upon an old bushman and his charge, Boy, a seemingly intellectually challenged, but artistically gifted man who intrigues her. Tayte decides to get to know him better, teach him to read and write, and encourage his art.

Perplexed at Adam’s hostile reaction to the news of their first encounter, Tayte resolves to continue the intriguing relationship in secret. But as the two grow closer, Tayte realises there is more to Boy- and his past- than either of them know.  As Tayte digs deeper onto the mysterious history of Brynleith, she makes shocking and heartbreaking discoveries that will change her life, and Boy’s, for ever.

Can Tayte uncover a dark past in time to build a beautiful future?
