Synopsis

It's 1866 and in Australia's outback, three Blake sisters remain in the Swan River Colony. They are quite happy to forge new lives for themselves there. The third, Xanthe, yearns to see the world. But even if she could afford to travel, could she persuade her beloved twin to let her go? Maia has fallen in love with their employer, and would surely be happiest staying behind with him. Xanthe's opportunity comes in the form of a handsome Irishman bringing some of the sisters' inheritance from England. But for Maia, he brings trouble: he's someone who could make her life a misery. Both sisters' reserves of courage and endurance will be tested before they can finally find a home to call their own.
