Jenny lives in the forest - she has no money, no family, no job and as far as she is concerned no life. She turns to robbery - a highway woman no less but she pays the price.
She is caught and sentenced to one of the worst sentences she can imagine - being shipped across the world to Australia to the colonies.
SHe must learn to adapt and she faces challenges she has never had to look in the eye before. Then famine hits the colony - people are starving - and she must find a way to survive.
She plot to escape , but a small boat in a very large ocean !! - Is this not a recipe for disaster ?
After reading this book I look forward to other novels by this author. I feel she captures the essence of the story she is writing . It's as if she places herself in the main characters shoes - and lives to tell the tale
