From the bestselling author of the Slum Angel.

Beyond the Distant Hills is the sequel to A Distant Horizon.

Australia 1853
Settled in the colony, Ellen embarks on making a happy new life for her family and to forget the horrors of famine-struck Ireland. Married for security, she works hard developing their estate in the country to give her children the privileged life they could have only imagined in Ireland.
However, danger lurks when a dangerous man from her past threatens her beloved sons, and when her marriage begins to crumble, all that she thought was safe is suddenly in jeopardy.
Rafe Hamilton loves Ellen, but she is married to another, yet when he is faced with helping her once more, he doesn’t hesitate to act. Only, he makes a mistake which could cost him everything he always wanted.
Confronted by lies and deceit, Ellen refuses to be defeated by tragedy. Instead, she gathers her strength and courage to fight for everything she has gained – no matter the cost.
Will she rise and build an empire for her children? Can she find a way to mend her broken heart? Or will she lose all that she has struggled to achieve?

Review

AnneMarie Brear brings to life colonial Australia in this richly told tale of Ellen and her strength of will to survive in a tough land. The story is an excellent sequel to the first book, A Distant Horizon as we follow the family's journey.

About the Author

She has a love of history, of grand old English houses and a fascination of what might have happened beyond their walls. Her interests include reading, travelling, watching movies, spending time with family and eating chocolate - not always in that order! She is the author of historical family saga novels.

"Poignant, powerful and searingly emotional, AnneMarie Brear stands shoulder to shoulder with the finest works by some of the genre’s greatest writers such as Catherine Cookson, Audrey Howard and Rosamunde Pilcher." Amazon reviewer.

An award winning and Amazon UK best seller, Australian born AnneMarie Brear writes historical novels and modern romances and sometimes the odd short story, too. She has a love of old country houses, travelling, chocolate (except dark chocolate - not a fan), researching historical eras and looking for inspiration for her next book.

Annemarie Brear writes a lovely story about Ellen's struggles with the life in Ireland. How she overcomes so many tragic events in her life and how she copes with them. Thank goodness she met Raif and he helps her get to Australia. The story has many twist and turns and a happy ending. Love it.

This story required the writing of two books and I thank you.Ellen is the woman that takes chances we all would all like to be brave enough to take. Her great desire to have enough for her children to be secure got out of hand sometimes but circumstances happen to bring her to realizations to back off.

This book continues from book one and finally our loves get together. I will say I didn't like the plot but I understand life gets messy. I will look forward to the next book about the children.

I've loved the first two books in this trilogy and am so disappointed the third book isn't available until January 2023!!! If I'd realized the 3rd book wasn't available until then, I would have postponed my readings until it was!!!
