Five years ago, in 1825, Missabella and her ten orphans\u2014the \u201cSwitherby Pilgrims\u201d\u2014had voyaged from England to New South Wales, in primitive Australia. By dint of tough pioneering work they had turned their coastal land grant into a true, if rustic, home. Missabella, now, is determined to provide for the future of her orphans according to each one\u2019s character. Not an easy task, with such a varied, ragtag, yet lovable set of personalities and backgrounds as they represent. Selina will train in Sydney to be a milliner; Paul may become a midshipman; Francis loves to farm. But what will satisfy clever, independent Cassie, who has ambitions to be a writer? The \u201cJamberoo Road\u201d leads her inland, to the discomforts and enticements of being governess in a wealthy colonial family. There restless Luke, likewise employed by the family, as a stable boy, will create his own troubles. Cassie\u2019s story, interwoven with Luke\u2019s and that of all the other orphans\u2019 and their former farmhand Eben\u2019s, is both an account of personal growth and a vivid journey into early-day Australia.<\/p>\n
