CeCe D'Apliese has always felt like an outcast. But following the death of her father–the reclusive billionaire affectionately called Pa Salt by the six daughters he adopted from around the globe–she finds herself more alone than ever. With nothing left to lose, CeCe delves into the mystery of her origins. The only clues she holds are a black and white photograph and the name of a female pioneer who once lived in Australia.

When CeCe herself finally reaches the searing heat and dusty plains of the Red Centre of Australia, something deep within her responds to the energy of the area and the ancient culture of the Aboriginal people. As she comes closer to finding the truth of her ancestry, CeCe begins to believe that this untamed, vast continent could offer her what she never thought possible: a sense of belonging, and a home. With Lucinda Riley’s signature meticulous research and attention to detail (Booklist), The Pearl Sister is an immersive saga that will keep readers glued to the page (RT Book Reviews).
