The English Oak - When Bronte Miller and her young daughter venture to Australia in search of a new life, a job as Governess on Tullagulla Station seems a good place to start.

Curl up and settle in for a cozy read-fest!
Heather Rayburn has crafted a wonderful saga of Australian Tullagulla, both in the hardships to be overcome, and the wonderful extended family bonding that takes place. It reads like spun sugar as the family builds and grows to form the perfect bonding with each other.
Thanks for the “can’t put it down” moments!

Delightful reading
Great characters, realistic storyline with much love and laughter. One of the best books/series I have read. A very genuine Australian story.

Let me start by saying this is the first review I've written . This is not my usual genre, I'm more into action and edge of the seat books, but this series grabbed me from the get go.
The characters were believable, the setting is very Australian and the way Heather puts it all together just takes the readers to the country. Loved the interaction with the animals and the land. The only thing I found strange was the amount of food they consumed. I think it's the first time I had a tear in my eyes FIVE STAR.
