Lesley Pearse is one of Penguin's premium brand authors with total sales of 10 million copies worldwide.

In 1786, a fisherman's daughter from Cornwall named Mary Broad was sentenced to be hung for theft. However, her sentence was commuted, and she was transported to Australia, becoming one of the first convicts to arrive there.

How Mary escaped the harsh existence of the colony and found true love, and how she was captured and taken back to London in chains, only to be released after a trial where she was defended by none other than James Boswell, is one of the most gripping and moving stories of human endeavour. This remarkable tale is based on an amazing true story you will ever read.
