Two Rivers - Paperback

by Glenda Kirkby (Author)

She can tame wild horses. But can she survive the man she married?

Western Australia, 1867.

Amelia McDonald has spent her life defying convention. Gifted with an uncanny bond with horses and born to the harsh beauty of the York district, she dreams of building a future on the land she loves.

But when she marries the ambitious Englishman Bartholomew Roberts, Amelia discovers that her husband values only two things, her inheritance and the heir she might provide. Trapped in a world where a wife has few rights and fewer protections, she finds herself fighting for her farm, her freedom, and her very survival.

As Bartholomew's cruelty deepens, an unexpected ally enters her life, James Pollock, a transported convict haunted by a terrible past. Branded a murderer and shunned by society, he may be the only man willing to stand beside her when everything she holds dear is threatened.

Set against the rugged frontier of colonial Western Australia, Two Rivers is a sweeping historical novel of courage, resilience, forbidden friendship, and a woman's determination to claim her own destiny.

In a land that belongs to men, one woman will fight for what is hers.
