Volume 2 in the internationally bestselling In the Land of the Long
White Cloud saga
Song of the Spirits continues the soaring saga begun with In the Land
of the Long White Cloud, as the founding families of colonial New
Zealand experience trials and triumphs of friendship, romance, and
unforgettable adventure.
Elaine O'Keefe is the radiant grand-daughter of Gwyneira McKenzie, who
made her way to New Zealand to take a wealthy sheep baron's hand in
marriage in In the Land of the Long White Cloud. Elaine inherited not
only her grandmother's red hair but also her feisty spirit, big heart,
and love of the land. When William Martyn, a handsome young Irishman of
questionable integrity, walks into her life, she succumbs rapidly to his
charms. Only to have her heart broken when her sensual half-Maori cousin
Kura Warden arrives for a visit and draws William away.
Though both young women must endure hardships and disappointments as
they learn to live with the choices they make, each of them also
discovers an inner resilience--and eventually finds love and happiness
in new, unexpected places. Tested by the harsh realities of colonial
life, both girls mature into spirited young women with a greater
understanding of the challenges--and joys--of love, friendship, and
family.
