Synopsis
What would you do if you discovered your unborn child held the fate of the future ownership of your family
property?
Recently married Paula Woodcroft has no idea that such a question exists, but her husband Dan realises that his father's last will and testament could see the family estate
bequeathed to a distant cousin. After a rocky start to their marriage, Dan promised Paula they would have no more secrets, but wanting to protect her from this unexpected
burden, he once again hides the truth.
Tackling the highs and lows of harvest season, a love-sick working man and a city girl learning everything from truck driving to unblocking drains, Due Date explores
the often taboo subject of succession planning.
Those who enjoyed Changing Channels will find the same warmth and humour in this much-anticipated sequel.
About The Author
Tricia Stringer grew up in South Australia on her family's Eyre Peninsula farm before moving to Adelaide for

She has worked as a teacher/librarian/information technology coordinator for many years and has also run a Post Office and bookshop with her husband. She enjoys travelling to
diverse areas of Australia, bush camping and sipping the odd glass of wine when she's not tangling with computers, reading a good book or walking on the beach hatching
her next story.
Due Date is her third novel for adults and the sequel to Changing Channels.

From The Book
Dan glanced around the lounge. They hadn't painted in here but Paula had made it into a warm, welcoming room with a
variety of things they'd accumulated already. It was difficult to comprehend that they could lose it all. The house was nothing compared to the land. And it wasn't just him.
Rowena, Paula and the baby all depended on him.
His father's will had only left possession of the farm to Dan until the next generation firstborn male reached twenty-one. It had hurt Dan badly at the time but he'd become
used to it, almost forgotten about it, till Paula became pregnant. Any son they produced should inherit the property but he had never known the existence of a cousin. His
father and Rowena had though.
Rowena had encouraged him to contest the will but Dan's misery over his father's death had turned to an angry period. Dan had decided if his father didn't trust him enough to
inherit the farm, Dan wasn't going to fight about it. Besides he didn't have any marriage plans back then. He didn't even have a girlfriend let alone the possibility of
children. It was well within reason that he may have had the property until his own death.
He shook his head. His father's will had been insult enough but why would he give a cousin the chance to take the farm from his own flesh and blood?
