Death-Defying Destiny Deciders – Part Eight: The Land of Better Chance

Description:

Having made her unthinkable decision, my great-grandmother Emma Murtough takes her children for a new life in Australia. But getting to the Land of Better Chance is to require a scandalous sea voyage, while life in remote Western Australia will come with plenty of hardships – and they'll only get harder during the Great Depression. Despite these tough times, Norah proves she's the daughter of two risk takers when she strikes out on her own. In Sydney, her bravery during a life-and-death drama is to change her fate – and mine.
