A tender story of one woman’s journey through grief, and learning to live life again. Hannah Ainsley has the perfect life — an adoring husband, a close relationship with her parents, a wonderful job, and amazing friends. Best of all, it’s Christmas — her favourite day of the whole year! It’s a time to share with her family and friends, and enjoy the festivities. But this year will be like no other. Tragedy strikes and Hannah’s world is shattered. If she’s going to cope, she’s going to need all the support she can gather and draw on every bit of her strength. Life will never be the same again but it’s soon clear she has no alternative but to pull together a future from the remaining fragments. As Hannah heads towards the next festive season she will have to make a decision — should she stay with the people who have supported her or should she leave? Could the answer lie in a delayed gift? Fiona McCallum’s most touching novel so far is a rich tapestry of deep emotions that is sure to capture the hearts of many. Praise for FINDING HANNAH: 'Finding Hannah by Aussie author Fiona McCallum is a beautiful, sad and heart wrenching story of tragedy and deep, soul searing grief; the story of how one person copes with life’s harsh lessons and how the support of friends is vital. Filled with emotion, joy, heartache and love, Finding Hannah is a lovely story which I have no hesitation in recommending. I love the cover too, and once I discovered the association, found it extremely fitting.' — Brenda Telford, Netgalley 'Finding Hannah by Fiona McCallum was devastatingly heart wrenching reading. Strong friendships with a few surprises through the course of the read. A story that was effectively written with emotionally affecting moments within. Readers keep a box of tissues handy.' — Karen, Talking books

Fiona McCallum
Fiona is the bestselling Australian author of more than half a dozen novels. She describes her stories as "heartwarming journeys of self-discovery" They tend to have a rural Australian setting and may or may not include a romantic thread. Fiona McCallum spent her childhood years on the family cereal and wool farm outside a small town on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula. An avid reader and writer, she decided at the age of nine that she wanted to be the next Enid Blyton! She completed her final years of schooling at a private boarding school in Adelaide. Having returned to her home town to work in the local council office, Fiona maintained her literary interests by writing poetry and short stories, and studying at TAFE via correspondence. Her ability to put into words her observations of country life saw a number of her feature articles published in the now defunct newspaper SA Statewide. When her marriage ended Fiona moved to Adelaide, eventually found romance, and followed it to Melbourne. She returned to full-time study at the age of twenty-six and in 2000 graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Professional Writing) from Deakin University. While studying, she found herself drawn to writing fiction where her keen observation of the human condition and everyday situations could be combined with her love of storytelling. After brief stints in administration, marketing, and recruitment, Fiona started Content Solutions, a consultancy providing professional writing and editing services to the corporate sector. Living with a sales and marketing executive and working on high level business proposals and tenders in Australia and overseas, gave Fiona great insight into vastly different ways of life. Fiona continued to develop her creative writing skills by reading widely and voraciously, and attending short courses. In 2001 she realised her true passion lay in writing full-length fiction, and in 2002 completed her first manuscript. In early 2004 Fiona made the difficult decision to return to Adelaide alone in order to achieve a balanced lifestyle and develop a career as a novelist. She successfully re-established her consultancy, and for several years enjoyed the sharp contrast between her corporate work and creative writing. She is now a full-time novelist. Bestselling Australian fiction author of 'heart-warming journey of self-discovery stories'.
