Summary:
SAGAS. In a wild and untamed country, a woman searches for a place to
call her own Tragically orphaned at sea, cast adrift in an alien
land, Sibell Delahunty applies for the post of secretary-companion to
Charlotte Hamilton and undertakes the arduous journey to Black Wattle
Station in the Northern Territory. The rigours of an isolated cattle
station come as a shock to the gently brought-up English girl, who is
viewed with suspicion by Charlotte's sons. Only Charlotte's own
kindness makes life tolerable, helped, in time, by increasing
interest from the unmarried son, Zack. When disaster deprives the
station of its mistress, Sibell is forced to take charge and
eventually earns the grudging respect of the family. She also
discovers within herself an unsuspected strength and resilience. But
the unforgiving land is not finished with Sibell yet. Her courage and
endurance will be tested to the utmost before she can ever call her
adopted country home.
