Beyond the Rimu Grove
Patricia Fenton
In the summer of 1966, a young teacher is dispatched to remote Ngarimu Valley School as a Probationary Assistant. Vulnerable and inexperienced, how will she survive – and how will her year in The Valley impact the rest of her life?
It’s 1966 and the young ones are railing against the hypocritical values of the times.
With two years teacher training under her belt, Ellen Rose McTavish is dispatched to Ngarimu Valley School as a Probationary Assistant.
In the isolated farming community her vulnerability draws in a support network, but not everyone is supportive and nothing in The Valley is quite the way it seems.
Devastated by emotional conflict, Ellie contemplates abandoning her teaching career. In a close but risky liaison she finds the strength to carry on, oblivious to the impact her year in The Valley will have on the rest of her life.
