Distant Hills
Sometimes you have to travel a great distance to find yourself…
Distant Hills is a historical romance novel set in 18th century Georgian England and on the island of Jamaica. In the novel, the heroine Kate Hardy is falsely accused of murder and is exiled to the distant island of Jamaica with little hope of rescue. But soon she is irresistibly drawn into the rising political and social tensions of the island. Kate’s own fight for freedom is writ large in the slaves’ war against the oppressive rule of the plantation owners.
And in this new, strange land Kate discovers unexpected tenderness and the chance to seize a life she could scarcely imagine.
