Dark Southern Sun: Love, Friendship, and Honor in the Goldfields of Old Australia
Ryan washes up on the southern shore of Australia near death in 1845. Rescued by two Wathaurung native children and nursed to health by their parents, his life and theirs are entwined through good and sorrow for the next ten years. Set against the historical backdrop of Australia's formative years, Ryan witnesses the displacement of the Aboriginal people. He faces the chaos of the world's largest alluvial gold rush and the bloodshed of Australia's biggest armed uprising. Throughout, two very different women-one white, one black-tug at his heart as he struggles from penury to prosperity. As he rises in social esteem as an astute businessman and cunning streetfighter, Ryan creates two bitter enemies-one white, one black. In time, they set aside their vast racial and emotional hatreds and combine forces. Can Ryan survive their vicious attempt to destroy him and save the good life he has built?
