Australia 1868
Kitty McKenzie arrives in Australia with her younger siblings, her best friend Connie,
and her befriended servants Alice and Hetta. In Sydney, Kitty's fiance, Ben, introduces
her to the city's upper society. Kitty loves Ben as much as he loves her. With this
marriage, her family will at last be restored to the status they held before her mother
and father died. She had promised her parents to take care of her brothers and sisters
and to keep them together. Only her brother Rory left, not wanting to face the poverty
into which the family fell.
But fate isn't finished with Kitty, for on her wedding day Ben is killed in an accident on
the way to the church. Ben's wealth reverts to his mother, but he leaves Kitty his
wedding gift. She receives five hundred acres in the Australian Bush. Grieving but
undaunted, Kitty ventures there to reestablish her family's security. Unimaginable
hardship faces her as she struggles to make a living off the land. As an added
nuisance, her nearest neighbor, Miles Grayson, owner of the Blue Water Station,
provokes her at every turn. How can she be attracted to another man when all her love
belongs to Ben forever?
Through Kitty's amazing journey, you learn the hazards and hardships settlers faced in
Australia. Kitty is an amazing character, beautiful, brave, industrious, and as feisty and
stubborn as her red hair proclaims her to be. She is also aggravating, impetuous, and
pig-headed. The reader knows she would have walked all over Ben. But the furious
and impassioned courtship between Kitty and Miles is one between equals.
KITTY MCKENZIE'S LAND sweeps you along with Kitty through a turbulent time in her
life, one of immense financial and emotional gains, and equally tremendous losses.
While her brusque talk and headstrong attitude aggravate both the other characters
and the reader, it is such an intrinsic part of her drive that it becomes part of the story.
No matter how low Kitty is brought, she conquers her fears and disappointments and
shows how courageous pioneers needed to be, not only to survive in the wilderness,
but to break cultural norms in order to succeed. Author Anne Whitfield provides you a
fascinating historical romance in KITTY MCKENZIE'S LAND.
To understand Kitty's motivation better, you might want to read KITTY MCKENZIE
first, but you will have no trouble understanding Kitty's past in KITTY MCKENZIE'S
LAND.
