But, through thick and thin, his wife Sophia sees the good in everything and everyone, and together they are making a success of their lives at Applecross station.

What people say
I so enjoyed the Wideawake Hat that I just had to read this second in the series! Again I can’t say enough about this series and the characters portrayed as they slowly make New Zealand their home. Of course there is plenty that goes wrong and lots that go right. Every character really made me love them all–except one of them.
This is a great story and I plan to read the complete series. I can identify with the women because I grew up where women stayed in the home and men made the living farming etc. A different lifestyle than today.
A great read. Kept my attention to the last word. I hope the author continues to add to this series.
