What a wonderful book this is. I recommend it whenever I can. It is a really moving book and I just couldn't put it down and if you get the opportunity to read it please do.
The book is about 2 sisters whose father is wrongly imprisoned for killing their mother. They are sent to an orphanage convent where they are very badly treated by the nuns there. Eventually they become two of the first children to go on the Orphan Train to Australia where they are put into yet another convent and, once again, treated badly by the nuns. The elder sister is sent as a skivvy to a ranch in the outback and it is basically her story of how she survived the ill treatment on the ranch and how her life turned out.
