Highway robber.

Convict.

Runaway.

Mother.

Jenny Trelawney is no ordinary thief. Forced by poverty to live in the Devon forest, she becomes a successful highway woman - until her luck runs out.

Transported to Australia, pregnant and alone, Jenny must face harsh challenges in an unforgiving land. When famine hits the new colony, Jenny becomes convinced that those she most cares about will not survive.

She becomes the leader in a grand plot of escape. Setting sail in a small open boat on an unknown ocean, she will do anything for freedom, but at what cost?

A fierce and heartbreaking historical debut, perfect for fans of The Light Between Oceans and based on the incredible true story of convict Mary Bryant.

Based on a true story this is a very pleasant and easy listen. Classic Meg Keneally. Slightly twee but nicely written and will put a smile on your face. The story itself is a great insight into the life of Mary Bryant and very compelling.

Very pleasant listen

This story is inspired by true events (Mary Bryant being the real character whom Jenny is based on), and in this telling the characters and their hard lives are presented in a sympathetic and compassionate light. The story is engrossing, the writing is lovely, and the performance is a delight to listen to. If you like historical fiction, I highly recommend this book. In fact, even if you think you don’t, I highly recommend this book.

Well-told and moving story
