AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Set on the coast. The pretty high-spirited daughter of a shop owner in a Queensland holiday town has to be betrayed by the man she trusts and lose her parents and her child to death before she learns the value of faithful, loving 'colonial' Ned. He earns a fortune on the far North Queensland goldfields and returns to woo her when he hears from her seducer of his iniquity. Familiar plot, easy style, but Jessie's ability to win back the respect of the townspeople and find married happiness is still unusual in these tales. (PB)
