AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A devastating confession forces identical twins Fiona and June to leave Australia. They settle in Cornwall and buy an equestrian centre. Fiona's quest to find happiness is thwarted by a woman obsessed by jealousy. June's challenges have their roots in the past. Their aunt sends them a journal written by their ancestor in 1829 giving details of a jewel robbery. It begins - We did what we did for Sarah. We are what we are because of Sarah. This is our story and the story of the lives we made for ourselves on Acacia and Eumeralla. I lied. Ellen stole. Sarah told the truth. Curious to discover how their ancestors got away with stealing valuable jewellery Fiona and June visit the mansion in Sussex where their ancestors were servants, which is still owned by the original family. The past and present collide.'
