In Pursuit of Happiness

Georgia Sills and Charles Ravenwood are separated on their wedding day. Their lives, instead of being comfortable and privileged as expected, become deprived and perilous. Both struggle to survive in harsh environments in England and Australia during the 1850s and beyond. In Pursuit of Happiness is a 'riches to rags' saga, where the two protagonists discover they are ill-equipped to cope with the challenges life has set them, yet they persevere through strength of character and willingness to adapt.
Eventually they recognise and appreciate the value of the lessons learned, but not before enduring many adventures and hardships. Will they ever be reunited?Set in England in the ascendancy of the British empire, and in the gold fields of Australia, this novel is a saga of love and longing, deception and intrigue, and is recommended for those who enjoy adventure and romance in a historical background.
