Publisher Description
After falling for a handsome young Australian named Daniel Thornton, Rebecca Williams gives up her life in high society Boston and follows him to his father's cattle station deep in the bush country of late 1800s Queensland.
As she acclimates herself to her new surroundings and her new family, Rebecca is unpleasantly surprised to find that Daniel's father, Bertram, not only runs the prosperous cattle station, but also runs his son's life. And his influence doesn't stop there. It seems to Rebecca that Bertram oppresses his wife, his servants, his ranch hands, and even the rest of the townsfolk in Thornton Creek! Can Rebecca adjust to her awkward surroundings? Will she ever be able to get along with Bertram's bullying? Or will he drive Rebecca and Daniel apart once and for all?

Knowing and doing
This story resonates with real live! We think we know what is right, we tell others we know what is right but sometimes we are only listening to part of what a God says and writing the rest of the story ourselves. This is a beautiful story of love, redeemed by God's grace.
Heart of Thornton Creek
I recommend this book & author! Well, written and a good read.
Unbelievably amazing and eye opening
What a a startling plot line this had! I loved every bit and hung onto the words like they were handles. Character development and connections between minor and major characters was perfectly flawed. Especially the contrast, wow! At first, I thought lowly of this book, yet I was blown away by how it was expertly written. Well done, I'd say.
