In the British colony of Australia, the obstacles are challenging and never-ending.

Governor Bligh's other enemies are the Irish rebels — who wish to end his life!
And what will be the fate of Jenny Taggart-Broome now? 
The hardships of life in the colony, as always, hit "regular" people the hardest.

Thirteen-year-old Alice Truelove can’t take another day of her father’s cruelty.

As Alice learns the tricks of the pick-pocketer, the best ways to charm the stallholders on the market and the skills to get by, the two children become firm friends. So, when BJ makes a fatal mistake, Alice can’t bear the thought that she might lose her only friend – forever…
