I am completing the Rajah BOM and live if Australia, so this is part of our history which is so often lost.
Well done in bringing it to light.

This is a piece of history that I had never heard before. Very surprising, sad, and heartwarming.

I can't cross my fingers because I have a project going that needs done soon. I will buy the book, if I don't win. I am sure my grand daughter would love it, of course, after I read it or we can read it together...that 's better. I love to hear her read.

I hope to god she's the child of a convict, and not a convict herself! Sounds like a very interesting book.
