West Coast Reins is the most popular of Beverley Bassett Broad's three novels.
Georgia Bellamy knew there were family secrets. But it is not until her mother dies that she can easily undertake the search for her ancestral links. In doing so she discovers her great-great-grandmother Emelia?s journals telling of her voyage across the world to New Zealand. She learns of the dreadful hardships experienced by Emelia and the strength of character she gained in order to survive on the West Coast of New Zealand?s South Island during the 1860s ? and of the devastating effect that gold fever had on the men she loved. But while Georgia is innocently immersing herself in the life of Emelia, her search for descendants has alerted others to her existence and triggered a conspiracy born of greed that will put her very life in danger.
