AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'It is 1866 and, fleeing from double tragedy, Katherine Carron leaves Fenian Dublin to seek refuge in her native Australia. However, the beautiful New South Wales highlands do not offer her the sanctuary she so desperately needs, for during her five years away, her family have gathered troubles enough of their own, and will call on all her reserves of strength. She has little time for her own grief.' Source: Libraries Australia (Sighted 26/03/2008).
