Rural Dreams

Margaret Hickey's Rural Dreams takes a look at life outside the big smoke, featuring the kind of characters you might expect in the country - as well as some you might not.

A football coach ponders obsession . . . a mouse plague dictates school yard politics . . . a failed playwright asks 'who gets the farm?' . . . and a young woman returns to her fire-ravaged town.

People we know. People we grew up with. Some of them might even be us . . .

Funny, heartbreaking and true, Rural Dreams highlights the richness of life on the land and showcases the beauty of lives lived outside city walls.
