Description
Nicola Douglas's life is about to change forever. In 1867, she attends a lecture by Miss Maria Rye, which sets her on a path to a new start in Australia as a governess. With no family and a good education, Nicola boards a ship with high hopes for a fresh beginning. However, Sydney proves to be a challenging destination, where many young women like Nicola face poor prospects despite their education. It is here that she meets Mr Belfroy, a benefactor with a past that has given him sympathy for women struggling to survive. She also encounters Frances West, an activist from a privileged background, and her brother Nathaniel, who becomes increasingly attractive to Nicola. As Nicola navigates her new life in Sydney, she must balance her ambitions as a governess with her growing feelings for Nathaniel. Can she achieve success and happiness in this new land?
