Publisher's Summary

Journey through the colonies of 19th-century Australia with three stand-alone novels of love, loss, survival, and redemption.

Collection includes:

One of Us Buried

In 1806, a fateful decision sends Eleanor Marling from the salons of London to a prison ship bound for New South Wales. She is put to work at the female factory of Parramatta, where the women's only hope of food and lodgings is to offer their bodies to the settlement's men. Nell is given shelter by Lieutenant Blackwell, a brooding soldier to whom she is inexplicably drawn. But as she treads a dangerous line between obedience and power, she learns the role of a factory lass is to remain silent—or face a walk to the gallows.

Forgotten Places

English settler Grace Ashwell flees an abusive lover in Hobart Town, with six-year-old Violet in tow. Deep in the wilderness, they find a crude hut inhabited by Alexander Dalton, an escaped convict long presumed dead. Hiding from civilization in an attempt to forget his horrifying past, Alexander struggles to let Grace into his world. When Violet disappears, Grace's fragile trust in Alexander is put to the test. And while she searches for answers, he will do anything to keep his secrets inside.

Playing the Ghost

For Lucy Earnshaw and her husband Tom, their arrival on the goldfields of Australia is marred by grief. In the wake of her loss, and a failing marriage, Lucy is drawn into a world of spiritualism and theater—and into the path of dashing young playwright, Will Browning. Lucy's new obsession leads her into the dark underbelly of the goldfields, where she finds herself entangled in a web of lies and corruption—one she may never escape from.

I really enjoyed these stories

I really enjoyed all three of these stories, the only feedback is that the narrator of the first book was difficult to follow, speech was too fast.
Highly recommend Far from my native shore, I loved every minute.
