A Sea of Green Unfolding, Book Three in The Long Trails series of unpretentious, eminently readable Historical Fiction by horse vet-author Lizzi Tremayne is my #SixSentenceSunday for the week.
Here’s the first bit of Chapter Five from 1862 Rancho de las Pulgas, near San Francisco, California…
Aleksandra didn’t cry, but she retreated into her own world again as the weeks passed. She did her part around the hacienda by rote. Her only moments of peace were found in her husband’s arms or with Dzień.
“It was good to see you at the table today, Aleks.” Xavier gripped her hands.
She looked up at him and swallowed.

About A Sea of Green Unfolding:
When you’ve lost everything, the only way to go is up…
Tragedy strikes in Aleksandra and Xavier’s newly-found paradise on their Californio Rancho de las Pulgas and newspaperman Gustavus von Tempsky invites them on a journey to a new life in New Zealand—where everyone lives together in peace.
Unfortunately, change is in the wind.
When they reach Aotearoa, they disembark into a turbulent wilderness—where the wars between the European settlers and the local Māori have only just begun—and von Tempsky is leading the colonial troops into the bush.
