Overview

Caitlin's Country follows the adventures of a fifteen-year-old American girl from Texas who moves half-way across the world to live with her father in modern day Australia. Caitlin tries her best to fit into her new life in the quaint, historic town of Emu Plains in New South Wales. Her father, an antique dealer, lives in a very old cottage which was part of a farm in Australia's early convict days. One afternoon while she is wearing a colonial costume for History Day at school, Caitlin is unexpectedly befriended by a young artist who has never heard of Texas or seen a modern wrist-watch. As she struggles to understand her strange friend and where he comes from, Caitlin also deals with the problems of school, making new friends - and getting to know her father again.

About the Author

Jeanne McNamara grew up in Australia and now lives in Texas. She has been writing since she was eleven, and truly enjoys writing for young people. Though things have changed tremendously since she was a teen, she believes that some things have not changed at all. "The feelings are still the same - love and joy and sadness are still the same for everyone."
Because the author has a particular interest in Australia's unique history, the geography, place names and historical references in "Caitlin's Country" are all authentic.
Jeanne McNamara's second novel, "Finding Fiona" is the prequel to "Caitlin's Country".
