When Irish immigrant Catherine Stevens, aged 28, lost her first husband, she had no idea what to do next. Having four small children, remaining at the hotel she ran in a remote Queensland settlement was out of the question. With the help of her sisters, she picked up the pieces and forged ahead into a succession of new towns and new adventures, each one a step into the unknown. Catherine and new husband, Henry Gill, wound their way to Murwillumbah, their new home. Soon thereafter, it was the Gill children who had their own battles, through times of war and the Great Depression. Their bonds to family and their home town would help them, but would these be enough? The Gills of Murwillumbah is a historical novel based on a true story. It follows one family's journey through Queensland and New South Wales from the 1880s to the 1940s.
