Summer Lightning by Tamara Mckinley
Miriam Strong had been looking forward to her family arriving at Bellbird Station to help her celebrate her seventy-fifth birthday. Yet, with the discovery of the first tangible clue to her stolen inheritance, has come the knowledge that she must again face an old enemy - and the painful memories of a time long past. Jake Connor is a divorced lawyer who crosses Miriam's path and she enlists his help. So begins the quest for the truth. Like the unexpected strike of Summer Lightning this quest is set to change things forever. Especially for Miriam's grand-daughters, Fiona and Louise. For one will find love, and the other will find the courage to acknowledge her true worth and become the woman she was meant to be. Summer Lighting begins in late 19th century Ireland and details the loves, lives and disasters incurred by several generations of one indomitable family. It is a story of strength against adversity, of the search for truth against all odds. But most of all it is about the power of family unity.
