Heartbreaking, harsh and ultimately uplifting, the sweeping family story of the Gordon Girls is a saga set against the backdrop of post-war Australia that will keep you enthralled to the final page….
Ross Gordon, honest, diligent and hard-working, came halfway around the world to escape his brutal father, yet he is destined to repeat his father’s violent, abusive failings in his own household.
His four daughters bear the brunt of those failings and life is hard, but following their mother’s demise it spirals into misery and is only compounded when their father disappears. The girls are left to fend for themselves and, at only fourteen, Joyce the eldest, tries desperately to keep them together and from starvation.
Don’t miss A Little Fortitude, the first in a trilogy of novels with a brilliant cast of characters and a story that will make you laugh and cry.
