Summer of 2008 Marigold 'Goldie' Hearts believed she lost everything when her mother didn't wake up. But the loss happened much earlier. Now, she has returned to her family's outback ranch, Hearts Farm, in the small town of Torrose, Western Australia. The truth is, she's no longer a child, and growing up means confronting the reality that love can hurt and loyalty can be broken. She is drawn into the pull of the McCoy brothers, Weston and Rhett, both connected to memories and a kind of love that comes at a cost. She barely remembers them, but the real question is: Do they recognise her? With the summer rodeo approaching, an event that built her family's legacy and then tore it apart, Goldie must decide whether to uphold the legacy her grandmother left, or lose herself in love. Isolate is a coming-of-age story that delves into the bittersweet nostalgia of home and the delicate balance between belonging and becoming.
