The young couple settle to raise a family in the lovely Adelaide Hills town of Hahndorf, once called German Town. Then World War I begins&hellip, This is the story of Esther's family's experiences in a town whose residents learn to overcome prejudice and civil conflict to reinforce an enviable community spirit.
