Pen name of Kim Wilkins.
From the author of Wildflower Hill, this breathtaking novel travels more than a century between two love stories set in the Australian seaside town of Lighthouse Bay.
In 1901, a ship sinks off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The only survivor is Isabella Winterbourne, who clutches a priceless gift meant for the Australian Parliament. This gift could be her ticket to a new life, free from the bonds of her husband and his overbearing family. But whom can she trust in Lighthouse Bay? Fast-forward to 2011: after losing her lover, Libby Slater leaves her life in Paris to return to her hometown of Lighthouse Bay, hoping to gain some perspective and grieve her recent loss. Libby also attempts to reconcile with her sister, Juliet, to whom she hasn’t spoken in twenty years. Libby did something so unforgivable, Juliet is unsure if she can ever trust her sister again. In these two adventurous love stories, both Isabella and Libby must learn that letting go of the past is the only way to move into the future. The answers they seek lie in Lighthouse Bay.
Kimberley was born in London and her family moved back to Australia when she was three years old. She grew up in Queensland where she currently lives.

She adopted the pen name Kimberley Freeman for her commercial women’s fiction novels Duet and Gold Dust to honour her maternal grandmother and to try and capture the spirit of the page-turning novels she has always loved to read. Kim has an Honours degree, a Masters degree and a PhD from The University of Queensland where she is also a lecturer. She lives in Brisbane with her young family.
The only real issue I had with this one was that she was a mistress and that the mystery she ends up dealing with is the mystery of her dead lover. I think this one would have been better suited that if the mystery was connected to our main character in a better way and not by being an adulator.Ok now the good! This book is in the POV of the current time as well as the 1900's which works out wonderfully! Both these stories tell the tale of two woman whom are trying to find a way to mend their hearts after loss.
This story is told by a middle man with no real connection to the story. It was completely told by the wrong person!
