Sarah Lark's epic Sea of Freedom trilogy reaches its sweeping
conclusion in a story of courage, strength, and sisterhood.
The dawning twentieth century brings change to New Zealand--and new
opportunities for any woman bold enough to grasp them. Atamarie Turei,
whose mother fought for suffrage, has enrolled as the first female
student at the Canterbury College of Engineering. On a surveying trip
she meets Richard Pearse, who shares her passion for aviation. Being
part Maori, part white, and thoroughly independent, Atamarie is soon
vilified by Richard's conservative farm community, forcing her to
navigate the next step in a liberating life.
Roberta Fence, Atamarie's best friend, has just graduated from college.
Obsessed with charismatic, womanizing doctor Kevin Drury, Roberta
follows him to South Africa, where their work together in the brutal
Boer concentration camps will change her--but not define her.
Soon, Atamarie and Roberta will discover that destiny lies closer to
home. There, each woman forges a path through star-crossed love, family
upheaval, and a shifting social landscape. And by reconciling ambition
with the spirituality of her ancestors, Atamarie endeavors to make her
dreams take flight at last.
