In 1955, sisters Dolly and Jean are the proprietors of Star Caf on Hoddle Street, inner city Melbourne. They are petticoat crooks who run an SP book, sell sly grog to the local police, and fence jewellery all from the caf. While they agree wholeheartedly on their criminal activities they are at opposite ends in matters of the heart. Dolly is a compulsive flirt who drifts into a relationship with Carlos who also operates on the fringe of honesty. While on a holiday in 1953 Jean falls in love, but the outcome means keeping a lifelong secret. Jeans left with a deep desire for marriage and a family and is envious of Dolly. When their sister Heather visits she brings trouble and things change. The caf becomes a burden. Arson is the only answer and it means a shared secret for Dolly and Jean. They leave Melbourne and start a new life in Brisbane. Jean is plagued by both secrets. Then there is a visit from the past and a terrible accident, and thats when their working relationship starts to disintegrate. But does this mean they each finally get what theyve always wanted?

"It would be hard to imagine a more knowledgeable group of writers, illustrators, and photographers than the dream team assembled to create this book. It is truly a celebration of the beauty of our native flora and encourages us to incorporate elements of it in our gardens to establish a firm sense of place.... I've waited twenty-five years for this book! It was worth the wait."--Richard G. Turner, Jr., editor, Pacific Horticulture "With clarity and a deep knowing that could only come from firsthand experiences, the authors share their horticultural wisdom and obvious affection for California's garden-worthy monocots. From Agave to Zigadenus, over 250 species of native grasses, irises, geophytes, and their botanical brethren are described in this long-awaited, beautifully illustrated book."--Carol Bornstein, Director of Horticulture, Santa Barbara Botanic Garden

For years Tina Devers' lonely mundane life has been plagued by frightening dreams, brought on by years of suppressed guilt and fear-the guilt of causing a terrible accident that killed her mother and sister, and the fear of her father, who she believes hates her for what happened all those years ago. This guilt and fear cause her nights to be filled with haunting dreams. The only real friend Tina has is Lily, the big cloth doll with brown yarn ponytails from Tina's childhood. It is in Lily that Tina confides her most private thoughts and confesses her deepest secrets. Tina's only means of escape is the office where she works-the only place where she feels secure and in control of her life. But disturbing events cause the safety of that haven to be destroyed and the tension at home to worsen, triggering even more haunting dreams. Then architect Ben Collins comes into Tina's life and evokes feelings she never dreamed of, introducing her to a kind of love she never expected to find. With that love comes dreams that are filled with more guilt and fear, but there is also the possibility that Tina will be able to leave her childhood demons in the past. Will Ben's love for Tina be strong enough to help her overcome her past?
