Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book shares the tale of Sandie Scott, a Scottish immigrant who found himself stranded in Queensland after failing to strike it rich on the goldfields. Rather than return home empty-handed, Sandie invested his remaining funds in a local ferry service, a decision that would forever alter the course of his life. As he carried passengers across the river, Sandie's attention was repeatedly drawn to a beautiful young woman named Mary Drysdale, who regularly crossed with a worried expression on her face. Struck by her plight, Sandie became consumed by a desire to help her, but his natural shyness and a sense of unworthiness held him back. As Sandie watched Mary's situation deteriorate, his sympathy turned into a profound empathy and a realization of love. However, his own fears and the growing frequency of Mary's unexplained absences made him question whether fate would ever allow him to express his true feelings. This book is a captivating blend of social history, heartwarming romance, and commentary on the themes of love, class, and the profound changes brought about by economic growth in 19th century Australia.
