The Evergreen Years

Six-year-old Tildy McVee has always sensed things that others cannot. Her mysterious talent is both a burden and a blessing. When her family leave the city in favour of the green and idyllic Adelaide Hills, she is initially optimistic that the move will be a positive change for them all - instead, it raises questions that no one seems able to answer.

Entering into her teen years, Tildy McVee is burdened with the responsibility of deciphering right from wrong. With all the common problems of a regular teen - peer pressure, bullying and the struggle to embrace one's true self - Tildy watches as those around her make mistakes, seek success and search for the one thing that every human being desires: the opportunity to love and love in return.

Arriving home from overseas, Tildy is returning to the Adelaide Hills a well-travelled and accomplished adult. Eager to reconnect with family and friends, she still holds onto a secret that could re-open a Cold Case that most of the community has forgotten about.

After spending her whole life deciphering the emotions of those she holds dear, Tildy now watches as her son grapples with the burdens of his own unique gift. By assuming that there are no more secrets left to reveal, Tildy finds herself unprepared for the revelations that can no longer remain buried.
