Title: The Lark in the Meadow
First published: 1959
Description: This is the story of Sarah Isbister, a young nurse from England, and Grant Alexander, a New Zealand sheep farmer who found that he had, most unwillingly, to accept her as a partner in his estate. Sarah met Grant's unconcealed dislike and distrust with defiant independence and a stubborn resolve to prove to him that he was wrong about her. It was uphill work, but he was beginning to recognize her good qualities when a mischief-making woman came on to the scene, determined on nothing less than establishing herself for ever and driving Sarah out. Would she win? And would Sarah have to leave the sun-kissed, prosperous farm -- and the man -- that she had learned to love?
