What Matters Most

by Dianne Maguire

There is good love and bad love. Good sex and bad sex. And paediatrician Mia Sandhurst is discovering the difference. Scraping to keep her marriage together after her husband of 25 years breaks her heart, Mia finally faces reality. Embarking on a series of outlandish new behaviours she makes startling fresh discoveries about herself, love and life. But the lies and betrayal Mia endured at the hands of her husband are nothing compared to those being faced by her 15 year old patient, Rachel Hooper.

Set on the magical coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula, What Matters Most is a story of love, family, misplaced loyalty and how our choices shape who we are.

To Perk Up

Kicco Coffee

Be sure to kick start your day at Kicco Coffee, McLaren Vale. Paola our Colombian hostess oozes passion for her coffee and like all boutique roasters understands that coffee is an experience and a ritual not just a drink.

Kicco Coffee is so good because each part of the process gets their care and attention. From plantation, right through to the cup. For them it’s not about formulas, figures or focus groups – it’s about the experience. The experience of great coffee.

At Kicco, the process begins with the selection of superior beans from premium estates, but the real magic happens in the roast. Their beans are carefully handpicked and roasted locally in small batches. This special treatment is what makes Kicco Coffee consistent, fresh and full of flavour.

Over the years Kicco have perfected the art of coffee with a selection of much-loved signature blends and specialty coffee.

Allow Paola and her staff to share the espresso love affair with you.
