Book Details
SURVIVORS OF THE DUMPING GROUNDS
After abject suffering, the loss of their family, and the misery of the workhouse, during the Great Hunger, Irish orphans Maeve and Emer Dannaher are sentenced to indentured service to a strange continent on the other side of the world. They live in servitude, as do the continent’s original inhabitants, and survive, despite hardships that would have crushed others. Follow the lives of the brave Dannaher sisters, who find adventure in the colonies of 1850’s Australia; encounters with “The Wild Colonial Boys”: the First Nation Clans of Aboriginal people; the hardy diggers of the gold fields; the unique flora and fauna of the rugged outback, and even love.
