I really enjoyed this book - to the last word.
A New Zealand family is raising their family with new twin girls when a tribe of Maori (a Polynesian tribe practicing cannibalism) swoops in setting fire to the house and carrying off wife and children into slavery.
Henry Oades searched for years for the family stolen from him to no avail while nearly losing his mind. His endless search was one of love for family.
Margaret Oades and children escape their captors and return home to find house burned, a grave marked for her and Henry moved to America. At last she finds passage to Berkley to find Henry and there discovers he has remarried.
The two wives reside in the same home while developing a close friendship.
Neighbors decide the Oades family are Mormons practicing polygamy which sets the stage for many injustices and a lingering court case.
The real beauty of this book is the love of family between the women and how they unite in harmony to protect and keep the family together under the trying circumstances. Their compassion and love gives one pause in wonder if we could be that caring and considerate.
