Summary "Londres, 1852. De forma independiente, dos chicas emprenden un viaje a Nueva Zelanda y se hacen amigas. Para ambas, se trata del inicio de una nueva vida como futuras esposas de dos hombres a quienes solo conocen por correspondencia. La aristocratica Gwyneira se ha prometido con el hijo de un adinerado baron, mientras la joven institutriz Helen se casara con un granjero. Las dos buscan encontrar la felicidad en un pais que promete ser un paraiso. Sin embargo, las ilusiones de las chicas pronto desaparecen, especialmente cuando descubren que su amistad esta en peligro porque sus maridos son enemigos acerrimos. Las dos chicas son mas fuertes de lo que creian, incluso cuando les cuesta muchos años romper con antiguos prejuicios y restricciones"--Amazon.com.
Helen Davenport, governess for a wealthy London household, spots an advertisement seeking young women to marry New Zealand's honorable bachelors and begins correspondence with a gentleman farmer. When her church offers to pay her travels under an unusual arrangement, she jumps at the opportunity. On the ship, she meets Gwyneira Silkham, traveling to meet a New Zealand baron who won her in a game of blackjack. When their new husbands turn out to be very different than expected, the women must help one another find the life they'd hoped for.
