Read Now Download Now
Lives are about to be irrevocably changed following a typhus outbreak on a cramped emigrant ship bound for Australia. When the two women come to the aid of a labouring woman onboard, Sarah's dreams of opening her own midwifery practice in the colony don't seem so impossible. Certainly not as impossible as her daydreams about a certain doctor's son, who only seems to have eyes for her friend. But something else is lurking on the ship: a disease that has the power to take down even the strongest man and is about to rip through the ship like wildfire, leaving only devastation in its path. As caring for patients stretch Sarah and Bridie to their absolute limit, thoughts of the future are rapidly eclipsed by their determination to survive. If only they can make it to Australia with their lives and loves intact ... Inspired by true events, this is a meticulously researched, eye-opening, heart-breaking, soul-warming story of survival, love and grit for readers of Darry Fraser, Alison Stuart and Tea Cooper.
