Summary

London - 1850 - A fast moving saga of a pioneer family leaving an established life behind to work as indentured colonists for the Hudson's Bay Company in Fort Victoria on British Columbia's rugged West Coast. Margaret Manson packs up herself and her two sons to follow her husband halfway around the world to an uncertain future.

During the long voyage she becomes romantically involved with the enigmatic ship’s captain, arriving at Fort Victoria with some serious complications and questions about her future. One problem is solved but another appears as she learns that her husband was lost at sea during his voyage, taking all their savings with him. Determined to succeed, she defies the accepted norms of the day, learning new tricks and skills to survive.

Working with the captain and some local Indians, Margaret and her sons establish a foothold in the new territory. The enigmatic Captain, Mark Holland, conceals a previous life in the street of Shanghai and sailing the China Sea. His love for Margaret and their business partnership is threatened as his past catches up with him. Rumours of Spanish gold fire up Margaret's imagination, fueled by some gold coins found with her husband’s belongings. This plunges her further into perilous adventures on Vancouver Island’s rugged West Coast.

Another wonderful, listening experience!

Monica Wemitt brings this wonderful story to life! I actually felt seasick during the ship board sequences.
The amount of fascinating detail and careful research done by this author makes this an amazing listening experience.

Monica Wemitt is one of my favorite narrators, and she really shines with this material. Her capture of each individual character is masterful! I truly felt like I was actually part of the experience. Can’t wait for a sequel!

Incredible Historical Novel! And Beautifully read!

A wonderfully descriptive, and well researched historical novel by Ian Kent, about the lives of many people, in all kinds of situations, while crossing the oceans to search for a different way of living. New beginnings & Possibilities. Planning, plotting and surviving.
So beautifully read by Monica M. Wemitt, she has a tremendous talent in storytelling & in acting out the story while reading to us. Her character definition and flow of reading this fact-based, beautifully researched historical novel is incredible...with a genuine respect for accents & names! Bravo to both the author and the reader! I Loved this book and cannot wait for more of this story from Ian Kent & read by Monica M. Wemitt.
