True Blue is the Australian way of describing honesty, authenticity and loyalty.

Maddie was born during World War II. Nothing in her life can be described as usual. From the quiet, scent-filled post-war England to the stunning beauty and hardship of Australia, her quests- happy grains of time, struggles, and awe before a world so full of colours and unknown fears- Maddie’s life is a journey through human nature, both good and bad, amidst most unexpected circumstances and shocking twists of fate. Maddie’s story is a reminder of times long gone, a never-ending voyage through the nostalgia of a disappearing world where people used to live and feel outside technology.

It is a story about learning loyalty and truthfulness, about love in all its forms, and about Maddie’s struggle for her well-deserved right to be loved unconditionally.
