Worth Fighting For

A bestselling World War II story of love, loyalty, and courage set during desperate, daring times.From Darwin to Pearl Harbour, Sydney to Papua New Guinea, this sweeping saga follows eighteen-year-old Junie Wallace-a smart, determined young woman facing impossible choices.

From the explosive battles of the Pacific campaign to the desperate fighting in the rainforests of Papua New Guinea; from the dancehall gaiety of Sydney's Trocadero to the terror of the Darwin bombings-this is a story of mateship, honour, and the fight for what matters most.Worth Fighting For is a resounding testament to the enduring force of love-a reminder of what can be achieved when you draw on your deepest reserves of courage and listen to the truth in your heart.
