AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Christy Briscoe was a stranger to Blackthorn, but two women - one of whom he secretly married - changed his life there. After a brief, stolen honeymoon, Christy went to Queensland for work - and ill-fortune kept him there for seven years. In the meantime his wife had lived her own life, and, when she received news that Christy was returning, it seemed as though her world would crash about her. Especially as a blackmailer had supplied someone with exclusive information about this secret marriage of one of the town's elite to a ne'er-do-well. Would the townsfolk find out the real origin of Sally, who has had them guessing? Who was her father? There are many tributaries to the main stream of this engrossing novel, but the author's practised pen keeps it full of interest from first to last. - dust jacket flap
