This is the powerful debut novel from Samantha J Wright. At 16 year old, Lorna McFadden's life is going nowhere fast. She struggles to overcome the bitterness of her mother and the tyranny of her father. She lives a life destitute of both love and money; her future lies far away from the Isle of Mull. She leaves for Oban, and the prospect of a better life. It doesn't come easy...until Danny McKay captures her heart. Then the dream turns sour; she's plunged into despair. Her one true love becomes a prisoner of injustice and is exiled to the harsh gold districts of Australia. It's a heart wrenching story about a love lost and found, about one couple's battle against the odds.
