She never imagined shed have to campaign to save the local primary school. She certainly had no idea her best friend would turn out to be the crusty old junk man. All in all, shes starting to wonder if she took a wrong turn somewhere. If only she could drop the kids at the orphanage and start over . . . But now, thanks to her protest letters, the education minister is coming to Gunapan, and she has to convince him to change his mind about the school closure. And as if facing down the government isnt enough, it soon becomes clear that the school isnt the only local spot in trouble. In the droughtstricken bushland on the outskirts of town, a luxury resort development is about to siphon off a newly discovered springwater supply. No one seems to know anything, no one seems to care.With a dream lover on a Harley unlikely to appear to save the day, Loretta needs to stir the citizens of Gunapan to action. She may be short of money, influence, and a fully functioning car, but she has good friends. Together they can organize chocolate drives, supermarket sausage sizzles, a tour of the local slaughterhousewhatever it takes to hold on to the scrap of world that is home. Warm, moving, and funny, The Fine Color of Rust is a story about love: where we look for it, what we do with it, and how it shows up in the most unexpected packages (Big Issue, Australia).
