Tricia McGill Blurbs:
In the early 1800s the penal colony of Botany Bay
was an unforgiving and harsh place. Isabella O'Shea is transported to New South
Wales for wounding a member of the British aristocracy who raped her, so it is
understandable that she loathes members of the upper class and the system that
punished her; sentenced her to seven years transportation.
Tiger Carstairs is rich, ambitious and English-so is
it any wonder she is determined to hate her new master. Tiger dreams of making
a new life beyond the aptly named Blue Mountains, so called because of the
perpetual haze of blue surrounding them.
Mystic Mountains is a story of courage and
persistence-traits that were essential for the settlers who carved out a new
life in a raw land where suffering and heartbreak were commonplace. Isabella
and Tiger face tragedy and many hardships in their quest for a new life in this
untamed land.
Even in the prospering colony of New South Wales, it
would be far-fetched to think a convicted man could consider marrying the
daughter of a wealthy property owner.
But Remy has larger problems to contend with than
Sara’s bigoted father. Forced to leave the woman he loves behind, Remy faces
overwhelming odds and an ordeal that threatens to strip him of everything; his
pride, his strength, his health—even his life.
Sara has many struggles of her own and when Remy
finally thinks he has a future with Sara within his grasp, he is sent to a
place where pain and suffering are everyday occurrences. Will the lovers ever
find true happiness?
Remnants
of Dreams moves from the horrors of the 1914-1918 war to
the 1990s, and paints an unforgettable picture of a changing world and of
working class people in North London whose only riches are love and the
knowledge that they did their best.
Alicia’s indomitable spirit sustains her and her
large family through two wars, illness, death and loss. From her mother’s
example Sara finds the courage to escape an intolerable situation and forge a
new life in a new country.
Sam fell in love with Mac
at first sight when she was still a child and he a teenage boy, almost but not
quite a man. A special bond formed between them, fuelled by their mutual
love of animals—especially horses. As each matured, that bond threatened to
move beyond the limits of friendship. By the time Sam reached her 17th birthday
she was desperately in love with him, her shining hero. But one awful night Mac betrayed that love and
Sam was unable to find it in her heart to forgive him. By the time the truth
was revealed they had both moved on with their lives, and Sam’s pride prevented
her from forgiving Mac; threatened to ensure her a lonely future.
