About this ebook

The story is a sequel to "The Four Elizabeths" and tells how the women convicts of the First Fleet in 1788, fought to survive in what is now, Australia. The convicts and prostitutes, knew nothing about their destination, except it was the other side of the world. But they hadn't expected the totally undeveloped country, nor that the men would have to spend the first two weeks erecting tents and temporary buildings. The day the women were allowed onshore, there was sexual debauchery and mayhem, but Elizabeth Powley, the original gang-leader, had no intention of joining in, knowing she was pregnant. The father may have been the Irish convict she'd loved before he died, or the Captain of Marines she'd seduced in his cabin. That first year in the new country proved to be full of challenge, danger, and trauma for all, including Elizabeth Powley, as trouble followed her, defying her to achieve the happiness she so longed for.

Author

Mary Maclaren

Following the success of her fi rst novel, The Four Elizabeths, which is the story of convicts who were deported by the First Fleet, in 1787, the author has bowed to reader’s requests and written this sequel. A few months after HMS Friendship’s women convicts were reallocated to other ships in the fl eet, in order to make way for farm animals, the New Life evolves. The reader experiences the trepidation and traumas of being landed on a virgin shore where the men had to fi rst erect tents to house the offi cials, marines, civilians, men and women convicts. From the fi rst day Governor Arthur Phillip has the Union Jack raised on the shore of Port Jackson, the amazing progress of the country now known as Australia is described in easily imagined images.
