Journey to the dusty plains of Central Australia in The Pearl
Sister, the fourth book in the number one bestselling Seven Sisters
series by Lucinda Riley. A spellbinding story of love and loss,
inspired by the mythology of the famous star constellation. CeCe
D'Apliese has never felt she fitted in anywhere. Following the
death of her father, the elusive billionaire Pa Salt - so-called by
the six daughters he adopted from around the globe and named after
the Seven Sisters star cluster - she finds herself at breaking
point. Dropping out of art college, CeCe watches as Star, her
beloved sister, distances herself to follow her new love, leaving
her completely alone. In desperation, she decides to flee England
and discover her past; the only clues she has are a black-and-white
photograph and the name of a woman pioneer who lived in Australia
over one hundred years ago. En-route to Sydney, CeCe heads to the
one place she has ever felt close to being herself: the stunning
beaches of Krabi, Thailand. There amongst the backpackers, she
meets the mysterious Ace, a man as lonely as she is and whom she
subsequently realizes has a secret to hide . . . A hundred years
earlier, Kitty McBride, daughter of an Edinburgh clergyman, is
given the opportunity to travel to Australia as the companion of
the wealthy Mrs McCrombie. In Adelaide, her fate becomes entwined
with Mrs McCrombie's family, including the identical, yet very
different, twin brothers: impetuous Drummond, and ambitious Andrew,
the heir to a pearling fortune. When CeCe finally reaches the
searing heat of the Red Centre of Australia, she begins the search
for her past. As something deep within her responds to the energy
of the area and the ancient culture of the Aboriginal people, her
creativity reawakens once more. With help from those she meets on
her journey, CeCe begins to believe that this wild, vast continent
could offer her something she never thought possible: a sense of
belonging, and a home . . . The epic multi-million selling series
continues with The Moon Sister. 'Delicious reading' - Daily Mail
There is a heatwave across Europe.
Goose and his three sisters gather at the family's house by Lake Orta in Piedmont, Italy. Their father, a famous artist, has recently remarried a much younger woman and decamped to Italy to finish his masterpiece. Now he is dead and there is no sign of a painting.
Although the siblings have always been close, as they search for answers over that summer, the things they learn - about themselves, their father and their new stepmother - will drive them apart before they can come to any kind of understanding of what their father's legacy truly is.
Extraordinarily compelling, at heart this is a novel about sibling relationships and those hairline cracks that can appear within a family: what what happens when they splinter, and what it would take to mend them.
Forgiveness is about letting go, not forgetting what was done to
you. Are you ready to let go or are you a prisoner within? Amy
thought she had a protective shield; her older brother Josh and her
beloved Mum to protect her from her Dad's drunken rages. One
never-to-be-forgotten night Amy loses them all... Can she ever
trust again? Prisoner Within is a tale of learning to love again
and forgiveness from award winning author Jenny Ford.
'God is Alive, Magic is Afoot' is a poem/mantra from Leonard
