AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Choose your own destiny and follow the exciting twists and turns of a girl leaving war-torn Italy to find a new home in Australia's Snowy Mountains in the 1950s.

'To find freedom, you must leave behind everything you've ever known.

'It is 1951. During the war, you rescued and hid an Australian airman near your small Italian village. He told you that you could be anything you dreamed of - but those dreams are fast slipping away. As you make the leap for a new life, you find yourself facing life-and-death choices at every turn.

'Can you overthrow the curse of bad luck that has plagued your family and prove yourself in a new land? You'll be asked to stand up to bullies, stage a mutiny, and make your contribution to one of the greatest engineering projects the world has ever seen.

'At every turn, the choice is yours. How far will you go for freedom?'
