A fast-paced historical romance adventure, set on the mighty Murray River in the 1890s with a flawed but loveable heroine.

1890s, River Murray, Northern Victoria

Young and spirited Georgina Calthorpe is not happy living with her foster family, the MacHenrys, on their neglected sheep run on the banks of the River Murray.

Unlike the rest of the family, she isn't looking forward to the return of the family's prodigal son, Dane. She is right to be concerned, as on his return he's furious when he discovers his inheritance is in severe decline. Ignoring the true culprit – his father – he blames Georgina, and she decides to flee. Unfortunately, she makes her escape on Dane's prized stallion and he gives chase …

From here, their fates collide with Conor Foley, a businessman with a dark secret. He is offering Georgina security: marriage and status in the emerging nouveau-riche echelons of Melbourne. But where does her heart really lie?

No-one could imagine the toll the changing political and social landscape will have on home, heart, and family. Will Georgina's decisions lead her into grave danger and unhappiness, or will she survive and fulfil her destiny?

Daughter Of The Murray by Darry Fraser explores these themes and more in a captivating narrative set against the backdrop of historical Victoria.

About the Author

Darry Fraser fell in love with the great Murray River when her family moved to her childhood town of Swan Hill in Victoria. Stories of the river have been with her ever since and it's where a number of her novels are set. Her stories are of ordinary people in nineteenth century Australia who are drawn into difficult circumstances - adventure, mystery and mayhem, love and life, and against the backdrop of historical events. Darry lives on the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia, very close to the mighty Murray River. To find out more, visit Darry on her website.
