1828 Britain is overcrowded, while its London capital teems with the misery of the poor. Millie is a pretty teenager from the slums, who meets a young Scottish Doctor at the Tavern where she is starting her career as a working girl. Follow her as she falls foul of the law to be deported to Australia, re-acquaints herself with her doctor on board the prison ship and tries to carve a life for herself in Sydney, NSW. Contrast the shy and serious Doctor with the survivals skills of a Cockney lass as they cope with a new world of challenges in the hot dusty land "down under".
Catch a glimpse of the horrors of London's slums, Newgate prison and life on board a female convict ship. Walk the cobbled streets of early Sydney, see life in the local hospital, visit a colonial mansion for dinner, and take a forced tour of the Blue Mountains as you follow Millie and Lachlan's adventures.
This novel is based on historical fact, both in Britain and Australia in the early 19th century. Live some of the challenges of life in this era.
