Sophie and George were newly weds when they arrived in New Zealand in the 1800s from the United Kingdom. Pioneering in the new country was a challenge, and unfortunately, George was killed in a drowning accident. Sophie ended up marrying a local shepherd. He was falsely accused of stealing sheep by some wandering crooks. Fortunately, after some investigation, his charges were dropped, and he returned to his family, friends, and homesteading. His name was James MacKenzie, and this fictional story was based on a true character with this name.
