The Heather to The Hawkesbury
Follows Mary Macdonald and her family; her brother, Fergus MacKenzie; sister-in-law Caro MacLeod; cousins the Frasers and all their families who have had to emigrate from the Isle of Skye during the “Clearances”. The story follows the four families from Scotland, on the ship out, and to the NSW colony in 1850’s. Mary does not cope with the changes and losses that occur in the first months in the colony. The other women in the family rely on her and she nearly crumbles. Through accidents, losses, trials, floods, and hard work the families struggle together and forge a strong bond with their new country.
Loosely based on the family history of both the author and her husband, who both had Scottish Highlander ancestry (Macdonald and McLean)! Much of their family history has been woven into the many sagas these characters experience.
