Published: Sarjan, 2010

Annotation: Described as an "intelligent and impartial writer" by goodreads.com, Jennifer Browne takes readers on an illuminating and intricate journey with this courageous novel, centered around the Swan River Colony in Western Australia, established in 1829. From there, it follows three children, rescued by tribal Aboriginals after being orphaned. Against the backdrop of the next 25 years, the adventures of these three will see them experience both despair and triumph, witness hardship, conflict and the Pinjarra massacre and travel from Fremantle to the Victorian Goldfields to Cape Colony in South Africa.
