"Set in 1850s and 1860s, it tells the travels, the hardships, the births, deaths and problems the pioneers faced when they finally settled in New Zealand. It also describeds the clashes between two quite different cultures and the issues that arose. Issues that seem to be rising all over again."

"Both a romance and a rousing adventure story, this book tells of pioneer life in a developing society and of Maori and Pakeha striving to live together. It touches on the difficulties of both single and married women when they had no legal or or political rights.
