Description:
No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. 560 pages; edge wear, spine creasing. From relentless drudgery in the parched hills to the green-lawned luxury of a great house; from the wild passion of love to the deep despair of a great house; from Victorian England to the Heart of the High Country - this is the unforgettable story of Ceci Bowen, a story as rich as the land she came to call her own.

About this title:
Synopsis: Ceci Bowen leaves her native England for the excitement of New Zealand and faces numerous experiences and difficult men that try her courage and strength, forcing her to shed her innocence in order to survive
From Publishers Weekly:
When 15-year-old Ceci Bowen chooses "assisted passage" to New Zealand, she leaves her straitened but loving family in Victorian England with expectations of fulfillment in a land of fabled beauty. What she encounters is rape, excruciating drudgery, a paper marriage, a succession of brutal men and other challenges that do not quench her seeking spirit. In a saga that is reminiscent of The Thorn Birds, though lacking that novel's lyricism, Gowans takes Ceci through a remarkable series of events until, in her 30s, she marries the man who first befriended her in the new land. Her survival is notable because the earlier immigrants brought with them all the old prejudices of class and religionwhich Ceci as a lone woman must contend with. Despite her doubts about recognizing it, love does come to Ceci. Some melodrama does not detract from a vibrant story.
