The Story:
Sara faces many challenges, from the savage voyage aboard a convict ship to the corruption and prejudice rife in New South Wales. Life in the Colony is harsh, and Sara has to contend with natural disasters and convict outbreaks, as well as the snobbery of the high society she wishes to enter.
Sara’s life is also influenced in often surprising ways by the men who love her, childhood sweetheart Richard Barwell , ship’s officer-turned-landowner Andrew Maclay , Frenchman Louis de Bourget and the Irish political prisoner Jeremy Hogan. (Goodreads)
