Kitty Mackenzie’s parents died, leaving Kitty responsible for keeping her family of three sisters and three brothers together. They were left bankrupt after the deaths and lived in a cellar for a while. When this book started, Kitty, along with one brother, three sisters, a family friend with year-old twins, and two maids, had sailed from York, England, to Sydney, Australia, to marry her fiancé, Ben Kingsley.

The day of the wedding there was a terrible accident and Ben was killed. Before he left for the church, he had given Kitty her wedding gift, 500 acres in North Australia, as an investment. After the tragedy, Kitty knew she had to move to her land and work the property if she wanted to support her family. The heartaches did not stop then. The cellar in York looked good compared to the cabin on her property. There was very little water, grass or necessities.

The man who owned the next property, the Blue Water Station, had more water, better grazing land, and had built up a community within his compound. He had another property on the other side of Kitty’s land, and he needed her land to connect the two. Kitty was not looking for a man in her life, and Miles Grayson did not want her to get in the way of his accumulation. Of course, the more sparks flew between them, the more trouble they faced. The harder things got for Kitty, the more Miles offered to buy her property, and the more they fought!

This novel is a sequel to Kitty Mackenzie, but I did not know this until after I read this book. I am sure that the book is as wonderful as this one; however, not having read the first one did not, in any way, hamper the enjoyment I received from reading Kitty Mackenzie’s Land. I loved this book; I cried as much as I laughed. Anyone with a problematic life should feel much better after reading this. No one could have any more trouble than poor Kitty. I loved it and recommend it very highly.
