The Spirit Remains - by Donna Goodacre Our Unbroken Spirits Series returns with this new book "The Spirit Remains" from author Donna Goodacre. Donna has set her historical novel in the 1890s, exploring the empowerment of women, evolving Māori-Pākehā relations and the determination required to pursue one’s purpose. From the quiet streets of Hamilton and the windswept shores of Kāwhia to the battlefields that will claim so many sons, The Spirit Remains is a sweeping tale of grief and grit, of the ties that hold whānau together across oceans and generations, and of the pounamu that carries their unbroken story forward.
