Overview

Like making lace - she pieced together a new life from a single thread of hope. Brigid loves her home and family, but she is torn. If she stays, she is another mouth to feed in a land plagued by starvation and poverty. If she leaves, she will never see any of them again. Heartbroken, she boards the ship that will take her to a new life in Australia, comforted only by the thought her cousin Jamie will make the journey with her. Her skill as a lacemaker soon draws attention, but life doesn't always run smoothly in the harsh new landscape. Brigid must learn to conquer her fears and overcome the stigma of being a servant, a female and Irish, if she is to fulfil her dream. A new start in New Zealand offers hope - until the day the man who seeks her downfall finds her.

Author Information

Vicky Adin is a New Zealand author living on the North Shore of Auckland within walking distance of the beach, the coffee shops and inspiration. Three words sum up her passion in life: family, history and language. After decades of genealogical research and a life-long love affair with words (she actually enjoyed writing essays at school) she combined these skills to write poignant novels. By smoothly weaving family and history together, based on real people, with real experiences, she makes the past come alive.
