Treasured Land
Coming Summer 2014!
When gold rush fever strikes in a Crown Colony, Brigid Griffin travels with her enterprising father two months by boat to get there, to try and make a new and better life. Upon arrival, Brigid’s father places her in the care of a migrating family, while he takes on the life of a digger. When her father falls gravely ill, he asks her to do one thing for him, pushing Brigid to choose between comfort and security, or adventure. If she doesn’t do what her father asks of her, she could lose everything...including him.
After being thrown in jail, Nathaniel O'Connor comes out of the experience bitter and determined to take for himself what he feels Brigid’s father has stolen from him. The only thing standing between him and his goal, is headstrong Brigid’s desire to obtain the deed to the land claim, he wants.
Forced to work together, for reasons of their own, Brigid and Nathaniel embark on the journey of a lifetime, traveling across the vast, unexplored countryside, facing dangers that draw them together, and making friends that could change their outlook on life, forever.
But sometimes what the heart needs and what the heart wants are two different things and each have a choice to make--to give up the claim they have on each other, or their connection to the Treasured Land.
