Love's Unwavering Hope
(2023)(The first book in the Beneath the Southern Cross series)
A novel by Juliette Duncan
A young woman forging a new life, an unscrupulous wealthy suitor, and a farmer fighting for her heart...
In the untamed wilderness of 19th-century Australia, Eliza Reynolds is faced with a life-changing decision that could shape her destiny forever.
After the tragic loss of their mother during the voyage from England and the subsequent death of their father, Eliza and her young brother Thomas are left to fend for themselves on the family’s fledgling farm. The land is wild and unforgiving, and every day is a battle for survival. But amidst the trials, the beauty of the land and the promise of a new beginning offer a glimmer of hope.
Enter Jamie Goddard, a farmer with sun-kissed skin, dreams of his own, and a heart yearning for something—or someone—to call his. He’s a breath of fresh air, a soul as boundless as the horizon, and he ignites a flame of possibility and hope in Eliza’s weary heart.
Yet, amidst the burgeoning affection between Eliza and Jamie, a shadow lurks. Mr. Bartholomew, a wealthy and unyielding suitor, seeks Eliza’s hand in marriage. His persistence knows no bounds and his offer, laden with the promise of security and wealth, is tempting.
As Eliza stands on the precipice of choice, nature’s wrath unleashes a devastating fire that sweeps through their lands, testing their resolve and fortitude. In the aftermath, with their lives and the farm hanging in the balance, Eliza must make a decision that will not only determine her own fate but that of young Thomas, and the man who has quietly claimed her heart.
Will she choose the safety and security that Bartholomew offers, or will she risk it all for a love as untamed and boundless as the land they tread? In the harsh terrains of a land down under, a story of relentless hope, enduring love, and the indomitable human spirit unfolds. This is not just a story of survival but a narrative of life in its most poignant form - raw, unpredictable, yet achingly beautiful.
Love's Unwavering Hope is Book One in the Beneath the Southern Cross: The Dawn of a Sunburned Land Series, a heartwarming Christian romance set in the harsh, but beautiful, Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia, in the 1880's.
