In true Olwyn Harris style, this first book in the 'Pioneers of Grace' series takes us on a journey to the early days of settlement in Australia.
Here we meet Abigail, the wife of the most powerful property owner in the district. She is the envy of those on the outside, but fashionable clothes and carefully applied makeup hide a darker secret, and his brutality is not only directed at her.
To correct her husband's crimes, Abby is drawn into contact with the disgraced lawyer, Ruben Davey, hiding in the hills with a band of displaced bushrangers. Will Abby be able to address these injustices and find a way to navigate towards a safer future in the meantime?
