Against the Wind

A triumphant saga that sweeps from embattled Ireland to the struggling new world of Australia! (Based on the TV Series!) Mary Mulvane--an Irish beauty, as proud and passionate as the rebellious land of her birth. When Ireland rose up against British tyranny, Mary Mulvane was swept up in the bold fight. Cruelly wrenched from home and family, she was seized and sentenced to the harsh penal colony in Australia. A beautiful young girl, an outcast haunted by a tragic past and an uncertain future, Mary would need a woman's strength to endure bitter hardship, and courage to face humiliation and heartbreak. In a raw world of savage lust and violence, she would struggle to survive, to pursue her search for lasting love, her dream of a new life established in freedom and dignity, safe for the unborn generations yet to come.
