From the author of "Ravenswood Hall" we follow Grace Beale who is falsely accused of a crime and is transported to Australia for a minimum of 12 years.

After a chance encounter with a man who has earned his ticket of leave, Grace starts a new chapter and together they build an empire. Set in rural England and Australia, Ticket to Botany Bay charts the lives and fortunes of those who grasp fate with both hands.
