Title: Sanctuary
Author: Judy Nunn
Description:
On a desolate island off Western Australia, nine survivors of a harrowing sea voyage find themselves washed ashore with no idea of their location or fate. Strangers brought together by a violent storm, they share only one thing: fear. Among them is Jalila, a courageous and enigmatic Yazidi woman whose strength captivates and puzzles the others.
While these castaways begin to forge bonds and dream of new possibilities, the quiet fishing town of Shoalhaven, just 40 kilometres away, is untouched by their ordeal—until their worlds collide. In a place where everyone knows everyone, change is a stranger. But as secrets rise to the surface, the impact of the survivors’ plight will ripple through the tight-knit community.
A compelling tale of survival, courage, and transformation, The Sanctuary is Judy Nunn at her best. Perfect for readers who love stories of resilience and human connection in the face of extraordinary challenges.

LOST AT SEA
On a barren island off the coast of Western Australia, a rickety wooden dinghy runs aground. Aboard are nine people who have no idea where they are. Strangers before the violent storm that tore their vessel apart, the instinct to survive has seen them bond during their days adrift on a vast and merciless ocean.
MYSTERY AMONG SURVIVORS
Fate has cast them ashore with only one thing in common . . . fear. Rassen the doctor, Massoud the student, the child Hamid and the others all fear for their lives. But in their midst is Jalila, who appears to fear nothing. The beautiful young Yazidi woman is a mystery to them all.
A TOWN TRANSFORMED
While they remain undiscovered on the deserted island, they dare to dream of a new life . . .
But forty kilometres away on the mainland lies the tiny fishing port of Shoalhaven. Here everyone knows everyone, and everyone has their place. In Shoalhaven things never change.
Until now . . .
