Description
Set against the backdrop of Australia's convict era, Mary's Guardian tells the story of two individuals who find themselves at the mercy of circumstance.
When William, a seasoned street urchin from England, arrives in Australia as a convict, his expectations are turned on their head. Meanwhile, Mary has been surviving on the streets for as long as she can remember, and her experience is not dissimilar to William's. The two meet by chance after ten years apart, and what ensues is a journey marked by both triumph and tragedy.
This fictional account draws on true events and characters, crafting a narrative that is both believable and evocative of the harsh realities faced by those who settled in Australia during this period.
