Based on the real life events of the intriguing Australian botanist, Georgiana Molloy.
At 23 years of age Georgiana has married retired military man Captain Jack Molloy, undertaking the five-month journey on a small sailing ship, the Warrior, crammed with other settlers, their farming animals and farming tools and their hopes of making their fortunes in Australia...
Threaded through the pioneering adventures is the (imagined) story of young Will Summerfield and his sister Charlotte, the children of a hopeful yet weak mother who has married a violent stepfather, Thomas. Thomas is a man keen to take up land grants in the New World at whatever cost to his wife and stepchildren.
