'Sherry Lynn Backstrom' The Desert Rose of the Simi Dale, is set in the 1830's. We first meet Alan Houghton, the hero of the story, as he is traveling home from Cambridge where Alan had been studying with a view to entering the church. The villain of the story is Wayne Warwicah who has sworn revenge on Alan for preventing his marriage to Alan's cousin Leigh-Anna. Warwicah contrives to frame Alan for forging and issuing a forged cheque for the purchase of a horse, and Alan is subsequently found guilty and sentenced to Transportation for Life to New South Wales. On his arrival in New South Wales, Alan is assigned to George Backstrom (father of Sherry Lynn Backstrom), and he must deal with many setbacks before he can hope to win the daughter of his master.
