Love you to check out my new novel, a family saga set in Far North Queensland. Available all online retailers in e-book, paperback, hardback and audiobook. So far rating 4.09 with 96 ratings (88 reviews).

Two women, bound together by opposite personalities, friendship, love and family—until motherhood rips them apart.

Here is the description:

From Jenni Ogden, author of bestselling novel A Drop in the Ocean (Gold Nautilus Award for Fiction) comes a compelling family saga set in the Australian tropics and spanning the 1960s to 1990s.

Her mother dead from a drug overdose, thirteen-year-old Olivia is rescued by Cathie Tulloch, her mother’s friend throughout the years they were held captive in Japanese prison camps in Sumatra in WWII. Welcomed into the Tulloch’s remote family home in the Australian tropics, introverted Olivia is claimed by dramatic, generous, controlling Cassandra Tulloch as her sister and best friend. Moving to the UK at 18, Olivia finds her independence, and partner Ben. But in 1970, after five years away, she is homesick, and ready to fulfill her long-held dream: to make a family of her own. In Brisbane she and Ben share a hippie lifestyle with Cassandra and husband, Sebastian. But while earth-mother Cassandra effortlessly produces beautiful babies, for Olivia, becoming a mother is hard. Even harder is discovering the truth about her own mother. And when the unimaginable happens, destroying the friendship with Cassandra that has been her bedrock for so long, Olivia tells herself that she doesn’t deserve a family, nor a place to call home.
Praise from Paula McLain, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Wife & When the Stars Go Dark)
"An emotionally piercing and absorbing account of turbulent female friendship over time, Call My Nameis also a keen meditation on the powerful pull of connection and belonging—the places and people that shape and change us, forever calling us home."

Congratulations Jenni!
