Kidnapped in the South Pacific: Australia's Own Slave Trade (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780994470881)

Marcella, a young and beautiful mixed-race
Island Princess is kidnapped from New
Caledonia in 1870 and taken to Australia.
Enslaved by Captain Oliver Morgan, she
is hidden away on his country estate till a
police raid forces him to offload her to the
owner of a sugar cane plantation. Having
paid good money for the transfer, the
planter's wife positions Marcella to become
the wife of her drunkard son. Marcella,
despite harassment and threats, refuses
to submit until she learns that the son is
a psychopath. An inordinate number of
the plantation's Islander workers have
mysteriously disappeared and she fears she
will be next.
