Bookroo's summary
Abigail Kirk, troubled by her mother's forgiveness of her unfaithful father, finds herself mysteriously transported to 19th-century Australia. There, amidst the challenges of a bygone era, she discovers the transformative power of love and the strength to accept her father's flaws. As she navigates a world with limited opportunities for women, Abigail's journey raises questions about forgiveness, understanding, and the true meaning of family. Will she find the answers she seeks in a time so different from her own?
