MALLORY CAMPBELL, a woman in her 50s, is a lottery winner. She rushes home to celebrate with her husband John, but overhears him on the phone. It's obviously his lover. Distraught and totally stunned by John's deceit with a woman she is close to, Mallory is faced with re-evaluating her life's path.
Sixteen months later Mallory, now a mid-life single, returns to where she grew up - Appletree Hill in country Victoria. She needs to check on her estranged, sick father, and the family home (Pepper Farm) where her brother, Patrick has taken up residence. Plus, surely a little country air and time with old friends can help her find her spark as well as motivation to throw herself into a future of substance.
Arriving with good intentions, her memories of Appletree Hill are heart-aching as she visits her father's nursing home and struggles with the changes at Pepper Farm.
Mallory's world is rocked when old family secrets begin to emerge, and grievances aired - she must re-evaluate her past and the childhood she now realizes was based on a lie. We are invested in Mallory's happiness as she navigates family dramas and searches for her own place within a once-familiar environment.
When she bumps into Stuart Forbes she is transported on a journey of re-discovery. Their teenage romance had ended in a misunderstanding and they had both gone their separate ways. But, as old feelings begin to stir and heat up, she wonders if this reconnection can inspire her to live with an open heart, with the joy that goes beyond just a full bank account? Or is she clutching at straws?
Intrigue and tension build as family dynamics shift, and her ex-husband once again enters her life. Mallory feels as though her friendships and, hopefully, Stuart are all she can rely on.
Full Circle is a poignant, compelling story set in a small Australian community of vibrant characters. It deals with friendships (established and new), family frictions and the options we face in later life. It is about one woman's determination to move beyond the past, to re-discover herself, and the transformative power of second-chance love
