Meet me in Bendigo

When Annalisa Capelli inherits the family hardware store in Wongilly she also inherits many generations of family history. However the pandemic has affected the viability of the business and her problems are further compounded by the establishment of a Carpenter's Warehouse twenty minutes down the road.

Meet me in Bendigo is a romantic comedy written by Eva Scott. While Annalisa struggles to save her store she joins an online community group as GoldFieldsGirl to test the waters for public opinion abot the new Carpenter's store. While online GoldFieldsGirl meets GardenerGuy94 and they strike up an online friendship. 

Meanwhile Ed Carpenter arrives in Wongilly to make the owners of the hardware store an offer of money to close the store down. The first person he sees is Annalisa who he immediately recognises as GoldFieldsGirl although he does not, at this point, realise that she is the owner of the store that his family company wants to close.

Eventually Annalisa and Ed meet at the store and although there is a definite attraction between the two of them, Ed knows that the next few weeks or even months are not going to be easy. As in all good romantic comedies all is resolved satisfactorally, but there are many twists and turns before this can happen.

Annalisa not only has to sort out her feelings for Ed but has also to decide how she really wants to live her life. Ed also has decisions to make as he plans to leave his family's business and start a new career for himself.
