Forbidden Frontier
Mira Books, Chatswood, Australia, 2008
Having already survived years of imprisonment, and despite facing a seven
year sentence in a new territory, convict Charlotte Badger still dares to
contemplate a future of freedom. Strong, short-tempered, but quick-witted,
she is filled with determination for a better life.
Nathan Wesley, church minister and devoted husband, is consumed by hopes
of bettering the lives of the convicts. His wife, Elizabeth, is stifled by Nathan’s
love and harbours a passionate secret that could destroy their marriage.
These three lives become inextricably linked in Port Jackson, their destinies
driven by Charlotte’s determination, Nathan’s faith and Elizabeth’s suppressed
desires. Forbidden Frontier is the story of the bonds that unite and those that destroy.
