In late 19th century Australia, many abandoned children were exploited as free labor, their stories largely hidden until now. Lucy Frost's thorough research reveals the plight of convict orphans, whose histories were often buried due to family shame surrounding convict ancestry or illegitimate births. Among these forgotten tales is that of Agnes, who arrived on a convict transport at four and was abandoned by her mother to escape an abusive husband. Similarly, Maria and Eliza Marriner were placed in state care after their mother died and their father deserted them. Inside the austere Queen's Orphan Schools, they, along with hundreds of other children, were under the watch of the feared Matron Smyth. At twelve, they were forced to work without pay on farms and in homes, often in abusive environments. Although colonists referred to this as white slavery, authorities ignored the grim reality. The children's stories include both abuse and the kindness of those who helped them. While some managed to create fulfilling lives, many struggled against a system designed to fail them. Disturbing parallels exist between the Queen's Orphan Schools and contemporary children's institutions in Australia.

An extraordinary narrative history of the First Fleet, by the bestselling author of The Forgotten Children. Never before or since has there been an experiment quite as bold as this. Set against the backdrop of Georgian England with its peculiar mix of elegance, prosperity, progress and squalor, the story of the First Fleet is one of courage, of short-sightedness, of tragedy but above all of extraordinary resilience. It is also, of course, the story of the very first European Australians, reluctant pioneers who travelled into the unknown - the vast majority against their will - in order to form a colony by order of the King's government. Separated from loved ones and travelling in cramped conditions for the months-long journey to Botany Bay, they suffered the most unbearable hardship on arrival on Australian land where a near-famine dictated that rations be cut to the bone. But why was the settlement of New South Wales proposed in the first place? Who were the main players in a story that changed the world and ultimately forged the Australian nation? How did the initial skirmishes with the indigenous population break out and how did the relationship turn sour so quickly? Using diaries, letters and official records, David Hill artfully reconstructs the experiences of these famous and infamous men and women of history, combining narrative skill with an eye for detail and an exceptional empathy with the people of the past.
