In 1863, the authorities send Irish orphans Ismay and Mara to Australia against their will. Worse, on arrival, they're separated from one another. While Ismay is forced to take a job as a maid, miles away in the country, Mara must stay in the care of the Catholic mission. Desperate to be reunited, they both run away, but Ismay soon runs into danger out in the bush. She is saved by Malachi Firth, but although he's attracted to her, he doesn't want to be encumbered with a wife. Meanwhile, their elder sister Keara has not forgotten them. However, she has had her own struggles to face, and by the time she reaches Melbourne, she finds that the trail is cold. Danger continues to threaten all three sisters. Will they ever find one another again? Twopenny Rainbows by Anna Jacobs is a heart-wrenching story of separation, survival, and the fierce bonds of family.
