About this ebook

Levi and Isabelle Everett and their sons, Benjamin and Mark, together with Millie, the family maid, arrive on the shores of Western Australia in the spring of 1833.
On landing, Isabelle is taken ill. While Millie is caring for the boys and her mistress, she is helped by Samuel Murphy, a one-time whaler. Samuel's good deed is the beginning of a life-time friendship; he and Levi purchase adjoining land and plan to farm.
On the journey to their new life tragedy strikes and Isabelle dies in childbirth but the bereaved family must move 'Forward With Hope'.
During the following years, Levi's farm prospers and he re-marries. All goes just as well for Samuel. But what about the boys? Do their lives in the new colony pan out as easily?
This novel, the first of a series, is fiction based on some of the remarkable experiences encountered by the early pioneers who settled the state of Western Australia.

Dawn Pitts

My writing career began in 1999 when I was led to write a children's book. A few years earlier I was working as a Library Assistant in a high school and soon discovered that a number of young teenagers had reading difficulties and that there was no suitable material for them to read. This was the seed that grew a few years later when I was walking regularly in an effort to lose weight when I heard a voice tell me to write a children's book. My reaction was, "No way. I'm not good at that sort of thing and where would I start." Feeling smug I continued home and tried to put the idea out of my mind. A few days later the Reader's Digest arrived in the letterbox and in it was a course for Writing for Children. I almost died."Over the next six months I completed the course and then had the confidence to join a local writing group. Since then I've have had success entering both local and national competitions. I now teach classes as a volunteer and enjoy passing the knowledge on to other authors.I have three adult children and five adult grandchildren.
