AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Sheryl McCorry's memoir Diamonds and Dust was a runaway bestseller in 2007. Now, in Stars over Shiralee, Sheryl brings her story up to date, picking up from the death of her husband Bob McCorry.

'Having moved from the Kimberley to a property called the Shiralee, Sheryl is rocked by the death of her ex-husband. While continuing to run the Shiralee, Sheryl at first leans on her parents and her children for comfort. But soon, she meets a new man - one who pursues her with ardour and is seemingly a wonderful match for her. Sheryl agrees to marry him, but not before she is diagnosed with breast cancer.

'Moving and inspirational, Stars over Shiralee is the million acre cattle queen's surprising memoir of what happened next.'

'Sheryl McCorry is a woman in a million. In her bestselling memoir Diamonds and Dust and its follow up Stars over Shiralee, Sheryl shared her amazing life story from a childhood in the Top End to mustering cattle in the outback to becoming the first woman in the Kimberley to run two million-acre cattle stations.

'In Love on Forrest Downs, Sheryl's inspiring story continues as she and her soulmate Michael battle to keep their cattle property running. With her characteristic down-to-earth honesty, Sheryl reveals more stories of hardship and humour from her incredible life in the bush. And with the courage we have come to admire her for, Sheryl fights on to preserve the country she so loves and protect her family from the forces that would tear them apart.

'A story of resilience and triumph, here at last on Forrest Downs, Sheryl has found the happiness she so deserves.'
