HONOUR THY FATHER

The second novel, hard on its heels, is Honour Thy Father. Set in old Hobart Town, Van Diemen’s Land (later known as Tasmania) in 1853, Isabel Saxby is a successful young business woman with independent means, due to an anonymous benefactor. Unmarried, Isabel falls in love with Barnaby Micklejohn, a widower assigned from England to work as an official in the colonial government. While their romance flourishes, Isabel carefully avoids divulging her past.

She receives a letter from her mother in England begging her to return to Worcester to visit her dying father. Her sense of duty compels her to make the long voyage, so she defers all arrangements for her future with Barnaby.

Aboard the renowned ship SS Great Britain bound for Liverpool, Isabel’s extraordinary past is revealed - but surely at a cost to her future with Barnaby.

HONOUR THY FATHER is the enthralling story of a remarkable heroine and her incredibly momentous life.
