In 'Seek a New Dawn',acclaimed writer E.V. Thompson transports the reader from the tight-knit closed communities of 19thC Cornwall to the vastness of an exciting new land,where the measure of a man is not judged by an accident of birth.
Emily Boyce,daughter of a pretentious Cornish parson,incurs her father's wrath by falling in love with young Sam Hooper,a copper miner on Bodmin Moor.So when the moorland mines fail, Emily's father seizes the opportunity to ensure that Sam goes to seek a new life in the mines of South Australia's Yorke Peninsula.
Emily seems trapped into a lifetime of looking after her overbearing father,but when he dies suddenly,she finds herself free to follow the dictates of her heart.
Her search for Sam takes her to South Australia,first to the Copper Triangle,then to the vast and sparsely populated outback of the magnificent Flinders Ranges and,finally,to the beautiful Adelaide Hills.
In the meantime,Sam has met with an ageing prospector who is to change the course of the lives of the young couple from Cornwall . . .
