Erema

In the California desert, George Castlewood gives his last drop of water to his young daughter Erema and dies within sight of rescue. Years later, Erema learns the man she loved was once a English lord accused of murdering his own father, a crime he swore he did not commit. Now a bounty hunter has arrived at the remote sawmill where she lives, offering vast money for proof of Lord Castlewood's death and custody of his daughter. Erema must leave the wild American frontier she knows and return to England, to the grand estates and dark secrets of the aristocracy, to find the truth that will clear her father's name. Blackmore, author of Lorna Doone, weaves a tale of fierce devotion, dangerous frontiers, and the unbreakable bond between father and daughter.
