TOMAH, WI, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Racheal Cardiss’s novel, “Rock on by,” is an evocative and beautifully crafted tale that delves into the life of Craig Winter, a fourth-generation carpenter raised on the historic ‘Winter Forth’ farm in Queensland. The novel explores themes of legacy, love, and resilience through the lens of Craig’s life as he navigates the joys and challenges of family, friendship, and personal growth.

Craig Winter, like his father Logan and generations before him, was brought up with the values of hard work and community. The sprawling farm located 100 kilometers north of Hillstem, with the railway running opposite and the nearby Kanelake station, forms the backdrop of Craig’s world. Though never described as a place of magic, ‘Winter Forth’ holds deep sentimental value, with its beautiful scenery and an ancient boulder that serves as a quiet witness to the memories of those who cherish it. As the eldest son of Logan and Renee Parkes, Craig grows up learning the family trade, creating hand-made items like kitchen cupboards and rocking chairs from the wood of the estate. When he finally becomes a qualified carpenter, he eagerly joins his father on a work trip, where he encounters personal coordinator Helen McKenzie. From this moment, Craig knows his life will never be the same.

Throughout “Rock on by,” readers are invited into Craig’s world as he experiences life’s highs and lows. From the deep friendship and business partnership with his neighbor, Russell Thompson, to the heartwarming bond with his family, the novel captures the essence of enduring relationships and the strength they provide in times of difficulty. Chapter by chapter, Cardiss takes readers on a journey through Craig’s most intimate moments, allowing them to witness his personal evolution. And will come to understand just as Craig did “That no matter what befalls us in our lives, when you have special friends and family near you, you can face any problem.”
