A gripping tale set in the pioneering days of Australia. Will MacLeod loved her at first sight, even though she was a bedraggled victim of a shipwreck on the stormy shores of South Australia. Lovely Rose Minney had made the long voyage from England to find the parents she had never seen, but what she found was a mother who was a small-time actress and a kept woman, and an introduction to the seamy nouveau-riche side of mid-19th century Melbourne. Rose lost the love of the upright Will, gained a husband she both loved and hated, but eventually found true love.
