About this ebook
BRILLIANT STORYTELLING FROM ONE OF BRITAIN'S BEST-LOVED SAGA WRITERS, WITH OVER 5 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE!
1871. When Fergus Deagan's wife dies in childbirth, she makes him promise to take their family from Ireland to Western Australia to join his brother Bram, and also to marry again to make sure their children don't miss out on a mother's love.
Disowned by her father for becoming pregnant, Cara Payton bears a stillborn baby. She struggles on in deep despair, until a plea to wet-nurse a motherless baby gives her life new purpose. When Fergus proposes marriage, she accepts. She respects him and is happy to stay with the baby she now loves. During the voyage to Australia, she and Fergus draw closer, until her past rears its ugly head and they face a terrible crisis . . .
When they finally get to Fremantle, Fergus and Bram, always rivals, struggle to get along. To make matters worse, Bram has financial problems and there is no railway where Fergus can find engineering work. Can the two brothers solve their problems? And will the newcomers find a way to build a new life?

A good read... but a wonderful series.....worthy of 4and a half stars overall....possibly better to not read them in succession one after another as i found that by the 5th book i was a little bored of the same scenario..ie another family boarding the ship to set sail for australia..having said that i became attached to all of the characters and im sure the deagans will remain in my memory for a long time to come....i may have enjoyed the last coupla books a little more if i had read something different in between each book...still, this entire series had a lovely feel good factor about them...easy reads...lose yourself in anna jacobs trader series of novels!♡

About the author
Anna Jacobs grew up in Lancashire and emigrated to Australia, but still visits the UK regularly to see her family and do research, something she loves. She is addicted to writing and figures she'll have to live to be 120 at least to tell all the stories that keep popping up in her imagination and nagging her to write them down. She's also addicted to her own hero, to whom she's been happily married for many years.
She is the bestselling author of over ninety novels and has been shortlisted for several awards, and Pride of Lancashire won the Australian Romantic Book of the Year Award in 2006.
