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?
My Thoughts:
Great story! Real characters, good plot and a few twists and turns along the way. I could picture what the land was like because I live not too far from where this is set and have driven in the area. Plus the Gospel is preached!!
And then there's the epilogue - only one thing to say about that: there is no doubt that this is just the beginning of a series!
What will happen next?
I'll just have to read the next book to find out.
