Overview

From the author of 'Ravenswood' we follow Grace Beale who is falsely accused of a crime and is transported to Australia for a minimum of 12 years. During a harrowing journey to Botany Bay, where she is at the mercy of the prison guards, she meets Jessie Scrivens, a harlot from the east end of London and on arrival in the penal colony they are moved to the Female Factory to begin their sentences. Both women are placed into domestic service, and after a chance encounter with a man who has earned his ticket of leave, Grace starts a new chapter and together they have a family and build an empire. Featuring strong female characters along with action-fuelled twists and turns, Ticket to Botany Bay charts the lives and fortunes of those who grasp fate with both hands.
