Forgiven
Geoff Lawson
What does a farm boy do when he falls for a Victorian socialite? He goes to War! A New Zealand historical novel.
Rachel and Richard face an insurmountable obstacle, Rachel’s father refuses to grant his blessing. As the patriach of a wealthy Victorian family, his blessing is essential, and he won’t allow his only daughter to marry low.
Richard rises to this challenge with a daring plan to win Rachels hand. He sees an opportunity, and joins the prestigious New Zealand Mounted Rifles, by volunteering to fight in the tumultuous landscape of South Africa. He knows that if he serves his Queen and country, Rachel’s father cannot refuse their wish to marry.
War is a gruelling test of Richard’s resilience, as he endures hunger and exhaustion, he unexpectedly encounters an aristocratic noblewoman, and surprised, he becomes her protector. He is thrust into a world of stark cultural differences, but when captivity binds them together, they must unite and trust one another – their survival dependent on a fragile alliance.
Meanwhile, Rachel faces her own trials. Unaware of impending danger lurking around her, she confronts a shocking revelation that stuns her family to the core.
Forgiven has garnered acclaim, earning a resounding 5 star gold award from the presigious “International Review of Books.”
