Gooid reading.
looking forward to the rest of the series.
I really enjoyed this book. Strong characters living in difficult circumstances. The main character is a woman I could really identify with in spite of overwhelming challenges. I enjoyed learning more about living on a station in Queensland Australia and the joys and difficulties the settlers faced. I have finished the 3 book series and highly recommend it to anyone enjoying real life stories with a strong Christian message.
