The Lyrebird Lake Ladies Choir

By: Sandie Docker

A choir wasn’t about a single voice. It was about blend, complementing each other. It was about . . . belonging.’ Sisters Eleanor and Maggie have been running the Lyrebird Lake Ladies Choir for fifteen years. It has become a haven for the lost and lonely women who have found their home in the stately federation house by the lake. When Eleanor enters the choir into the All Voices Championship, it offers them all a chance to make up for lost dreams. Single mum Hannah arrives in Lyrebird Lake, homeless after being widowed and hoping for a new start with her son. With her angelic voice, Hannah could give the choir a winning edge. But when Eleanor hears her singing a long-forgotten lullaby, she is transported to her past, a traumatic time when two teenage girls were banished from their Irish homeland to a faraway country. Will Hannah’s arrival mend old wounds, or will the secret she unknowingly carries tear the sisters apart? A lyrical, deeply moving story of facing secrets, finding your way back home, and the power of discovering your voice.
