On reading THE ABDUCTION OF EMILY BYRNE by prize-winning writer,
CHRISTINE POWER, LEIGH RUSSELL (author of the popular DI Geraldine
Steel Series), commented: "A very well-written novel." ..".has a
terrific cast of characters." "Excellent scene setting ... so
evocative of those times." Oblivious to wild brambles tearing at
her skin, a young woman staggers down the mountainside. In the
dark, she searches desperately for the canoe into which,
blindfolded, she was brought to this remote hideaway in the
wilderness. Emily Byrne's ordeals begin in 1858 when the tiny
settlements of New Caledonia are invaded. Deluded by San Franciscan
newspaper reports of gold nuggets 'plucked from the Fraser River by
hand, ' tens of thousands arrive in Fort Victoria. One of them is a
widow in black, Mrs Angelica Thomas. Beautiful and mysterious, she
is wanted and hunted in several states of America, for murder.
Emily, unhappy and angry with her parents, has decided to run away
from home. She has eyes only for the Royal Engineer, Jamie Ryder,
whose assurances of love have led her to believe that he will marry
and protect her. Meanwhile, she spurns the attentions of the
half-breed, Red. Determined to follow the lieutenant up the mighty
Fraser River, she is drawn closer and closer to slavery in a den of
depravity.
