From the bestselling author of The Titanic Sisters and The Girls of Ennismore comes a sweeping historical saga about bravery, everlasting friendship, and discovering what it means to be home.
17 year old Kate Gilvarry is one of 4,000 female orphans from Irish Workhouses who, on the promise of a better future, were shipped to Australia in 1848 as part of the Earl Grey Scheme. But, on arrival, Kate faces discrimination, abuse and physical danger in the Australian Outback as she fights her way back to Sydney, and freedom.
About the book:
A vividly told, triumphant story that follows one of the thousands of young Irish women shipped to Australia after the Famine as part of the Earl Grey Scheme, whose indomitable bravery in an exotic, danger-laden land helped shape a new country.
