We are a society that no longer takes mental health for granted. We’ve come a long way from the ‘get over it’ mentality that forced many of us to try to deal with our problems alone. Treatment options have become better and more sophisticated, and we now work actively to prevent mental health conditions. Healthy self-worth is essential for good mental health. Someone with healthy self-worth is more likely to have better coping skills, greater resilience and the ability to maintain long-term positive mental health.

In the abandoned railhead town of Tewinga, now almost a ghost town, Lyn and Adam Portman struggle to keep the Heartwood Hotel afloat. Lyn loves her husband and longs to be a mother. But she's kept busy caring for her elderly father, her community and Max, the young worker who reminds her of the brother she's lost and dearly misses. When he fails to return from a day trip, Lyn's concern deepens as the length of his absence grows, the more so with rumours of criminal activity at a nearby station. Meanwhile, a chance meeting uncovers a family bombshell that leaves Lyn reeling.
