'It is Ireland 1823, and fifteen year old Bronagh Kelly sets out to avenge the murder of her father, but finds herself transported to Sydney. An innocent peasant girl. not able to read or write when she boards the transport ship, she tells her tale with a mix of wry humour, ignorance and passion as she longs for her homeland, her family and love, while dreaming of the ancient myths her father sand to her.

From the political furore of Sligo to the horrorrs of the female factory at Parramatta, finally reaching a climax at the infamous Moreton Bay penal settlement, where another murder takes place, one that is to this day unsolved. This is a story of personal struggle in the face of political and socail adversity.' (Back cover of book).
