AbstractHistoryArchive Description

It is about life in New South Wales in the days of Macquarie, and the story takes place against an exciting background of convicts, red-coats, pioneering farmers, and bushrangers. The heroine is Verity Asherton, twelve-year old daughter of a sea-captain believed lost at sea, who waits anxiously in Sydney town for his return, the only person who believes he is still alive. (Publisher's blurb)
