About the Book:
It is the time of Australia’s harsh rogue-filled goldrush of the 1850’s when Miss Penelope Worthington suddenly finds herself orphaned, isolated and alone. With a large sheep station to run single-handedly, she has little option but to enlist the aid of a mysterious, but sinister stranger.
But who is the more treacherous? Gus—the scruffy, trespassing, ex-convict who co-incidentally shows up looking for work just when she desperately needs a farmhand or Rupert—the handsome, wealthy neighbour who would willingly marry her at the drop of a hat and solve her apparent dilemma?
Repeatedly, her faith is tested as she faces the unforgiving elements, deceit, lies and uncertainty. But where and how will it all end? But…is it the end? Will vengeance return or
will Penny’s faith prevail?

ReplyDeleteIt's the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth! Several years ago there were so few Christian novels by Aussie authors for me to enjoy and yours are a real delight.
ReplyDeleteHaving just enjoyed watching The Man From Snowy River 1 and 2...this Canadian is intrigued to explore some Australian historicals. Thanks for sharing, Mary!
