Story
The year 1871. Adelaide Greaves and her young son have found sanctuary in the Australian town of Maiden's Creek, where she works as a postmistress. The rough Victorian goldmining settlement is a hard place for a woman - especially as the other women in town don't know what to make of her - but through force of will and sheer necessity, Adelaide carves out a role. But her past is coming to find her, and the embittered and scarred Confederate soldier Caleb Hunt, in town in search of gold and not without a dark past of his own, might be the only one who can help.

After the death of her husband, Adam, in an horrific plane crash, Gemma Sinclair defies community expectations—and Adam's dying words—by deciding to hang on to Billbinya, the 10,000-hectare station he bequeathed to her. As if Gemma's grief and the job of looking after Billbinya aren't enough, a wave of innuendo soon sweeps the community that Adam's plane crash was no accident. Police officers confirm the rumour when they visit Gemma and tell her Adam's death was almost certainly related to his involvement in a cattle and sheep duffing ring.

Publisher's Summary
A fast-paced historical romance adventure, set on the mighty Murray River in the 1890s with a flawed but lovable heroine.
The 1890s, River Murray, Northern Victoria.
Georgina Calthorpe is unhappy living with her indifferent foster family, the MacHenrys, in their crumbling house on the banks of the River Murray. Unlike the rest of the family, she isn't looking forward to the return of prodigal son Dane. With good reason. Dane MacHenry is furious when, on his return, he finds his homestead in grave decline. Unaware that his father has been drinking his way through his inheritance, he blames Georgina, and Georgina decides she has no option but to leave. Unfortunately, she chooses Dane's horse to flee on, and when Dane learns she has stolen his prized stallion, he gives chase.
From this point, their fates become intertwined with that of a businessman with a dark secret, Conor Foley, who offers Georgina apparent security: a marriage with status in the emerging nouveau riche echelons of Melbourne. But none of them could imagine the toll the changing political and social landscape would have on homes, hearts, and families.
Will Georgina's path lead her into grave danger and unhappiness, or will she survive and fulfill her destiny?

I enjoyed the drama and loved the description of Australia.
The social rules for this era are both good and bad.

The River tells a story
Loved the story, not so much the narrator who made the male voices too breathy & weak.
Ebbs & flows in the story line parallels the water in the Murray
