England and Parramatta from 1814. Katy is in mourning after her husband dies in a shooting accident. Barely coping, she awaits the birth of their child. If it' s a girl, she must hand the family home over to her husband' s brother. The day after giving birth to a daughter, she is literally left on the side of a road with a newborn child. She collapses and is found by her distant cousin, whom she thought had died in a fire ten years before. Perry, badly scarred himself, nurses her back to health. They marry and move in with her widowed friend, Mary. After some years, she walks in on her husband and friend in each other' s arms. Now living in a love triangle, and she flees. Grasping the only straw available, she intentionally gets arrested so that she can be sent to a colony far away. By doing this her marriage can be annulled. What happens in the Colony is not what she expects. Governor Macquarie comes to her rescue. The colony changes not only her life but the lives of many. But what of Perry and her children?
Sara Powter was born on the NSW Central Coast. Her childhood was spent with her parents, mainly travelling up and down the East Coast of Australia, fishing, shell collecting and doing some of her education by Correspondence Schooling. With a passion for science, she worked for the Department of Agriculture as a Scientific Assistant in the Entomology Department. She married Stephen soon after leaving there, and they spent 30 years in Ministry in the Newcastle Anglican Diocese in NSW, only retiring at the end of 2020. When ' Covid 19' hit, time was available to pen some of the stories she' d wanted to write for some time. Within twelve months, eight stories were finished, and ideas for more were on the way. These stem from her passion for Colonial Australia, her convict Ancestors, and the amazing country' s remarkable history! Sara wrote these as she wished to complete her mother' s unfinished manuscript.
