This is a beautiful story. I have recommended it to my friends and family. This is the story of Hallie, who travels to the "wilds" of Australia to become the wife of a man she knew briefly as a young girl. Altho she is traveling to the otherside of the world, she sees this as an opportunity to leave the dreariness of her life in England. I admired the independence of Hallie. Though she is dependent on her husband in the beginning, she is strong-willed and determined to succeed in everything she does. This is a story you can't put down and you hate to see end! I love Barbara Bickmore books, but they are hard to find. Check the library and used bookstores! Highly recommended.
Hypnotizing

I was transported by this story. Everyone I've lent my copy to has read it in a matter of days, not because it's simple, but because they couldn't put it down. I've worn my paperback to shreds. A must read book.
An incredible passionate story!

This book touched my soul and made want to keep reading and reading.. I did not want to put it down, so needless to say I read it in 2 days. It was beautifully written, and I believe one of the very best books I have ever read. I love Ms. Bickmore's style! I will cherish this book & give it to my daughter to read later in her life..

This is one of the best books ever written. I have read it several times and I never lose interest. I would love to see this book made into a movie. I have recommended it to my friends and family. If you are looking for a great book that will enthrall you from the first page, then this is it.
Made me laugh, cry, dream, and cheer for women. Way to go!
