Book Title: The Seachangers
Author: Meredith Appleyard
Rediscover the joy of new beginnings with The Seachangers by Meredith Appleyard, a heartfelt and uplifting story of resilience, self-discovery, and unexpected connections. Perfect for readers who treasure thoughtful tales set in small communities, this charming novel explores how life’s twists and turns can lead to second chances.
At 57, Ruth made her dream of a sea change a reality, leaving the city to open Rosie’s Café in the picturesque town of Cutlers Bay. But five years on, the spark that drove her has faded, and she’s struggling to find the vibrant, fearless woman she used to be.
Hamish, freshly retired after a lifetime of hard work out bush, is restless in the city. When he travels to Cutlers Bay to settle his late father’s estate, what begins as a temporary project awakens something long dormant. The town starts to feel like home, and Ruth’s café offers more than just good coffee—it offers the possibility of a fresh start.
As Ruth and Hamish navigate the changes in their lives, The Seachangers reminds us that it’s never too late to find happiness and rediscover ourselves.

It's never too late for a new beginning.
At 57, Ruth made a successful sea change: she relocated from the city to the country and opened Rosie's Cafe in the seaside town of Cutlers Bay. Business boomed, but five years on the shine has worn off. Where has that other Ruth gone, the independent, feisty woman who'd had the courage to sell up in the city and move to the country? Even the bathroom mirror is reflecting back someone she doesn't quite recognise: greying hair, wrinkles, the sparkle all but gone from her blue eyes. Ruth is convinced she has to make a change - if only she could decide what.
After a lifetime of hard work out bush, Hamish has retired to the city for a life of comfort and ease. It's what he always dreamed of, so why doesn't he feel satisfied? When his 89-year-old father dies, Hamish comes to Cutlers Bay to settle his affairs. At first, packing up the house and renovating it to sell is both a filial duty and a welcome project to fill his days. As the work energises him, Hamish wonders: was retiring a mistake? The longer he's in town, the more Cutlers Bay starts to feel like home. And a certain cafe owner makes the idea of staying there all the more appealing ...
