Review Quote

I was caught up in the drama, fun, rocky romances and many adventures of Rebecca, one of the most refreshing Australian heroines ever … By the end of this book, you yearn for a ute, a pair of boots, and the wide open spaces.

Other text

Rebecca is a wonderful character, being both feisty and fallible … The author's easy narrative and solid and believable characters and plot … make River Run Deep a widely appealing read. In short, a real treasure.
