Reunion in the Outback by Nicole FlocktonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
It's a reunion of siblings when Yolanda (also known as Yolo and Lana) arrives on her brother Scott's doorstep with her young daughter, Jayne. We've met Scott, Sindy, and Jonas in previous books and we get to interact with them more with Lana's story.
She's yearned for another child for years but Michael, Yolanda's husband, can't bear to see her again the way she was earlier in the year when she miscarried. Upset, Yolanda gathers up Jayne and they return to Yolo's home in Bunya Junction. She avoids all the questions from the family, just letting them know she needs some time away. After all, Michael will be busy at the restaurant, which is where he practically lives these days anyway.
Michael can't figure out what he did to have the love of his live leave with his daughter. That's issue #1. Then the phone rings added an additional layer to already mounting pile of disasters. He loves the fact that Charles gave him this opportunity to be the head chef of Charlie's but he also realizes the time he spends there might be impacting his marriage.
Not being able to withstand the separation any further, Michael leaves Sydney and heads to Bunya Junction. After all, with his new news, he's got the time to work on his relationship now. Will it be too late? With so many secrets flying around, is there any hope left?
This book concludes the Bunya Junction series. I'm a little sad to see it end!! I've enjoyed getting to know the Carruthers family and all their dysfunctions! Each of these books may be read as a standalone but I enjoyed reading them all fairly close together. I highly recommend this series to those who enjoy a good family full of perfectly dysfunctional issues to help us all feel a little more normal. :)
