About this audiobook
Dockside in Woolwich, England on August 24th 1833. A terrified group of women, some pregnant, and their children are crammed into the hull of the prison ship, the Amphitrite. Their destination is Australia for a future life of hardship and endless toil. They were destined to never make it. History tells us no one made it out alive. In this historical fiction, the author may have found another story altogether.
Joel Daffurn's narration brings Dov Silverman's historical fiction to life in this well-researched account.
