This is the timeless story of the struggle between a powerful man and an innocent young woman, how she survives, prospers, becomes powerful in her own right and utterly destroys him.
Mary was fifteen years old when she fell under the control of the ruthless lawyer who has plans for her in his sordid business.
In her loyalty to her new-found friends, Mary takes on the task appointed to her, but violence is unavoidable, love elusive and fame unexpected as she establishes a name for herself that will span the globe.
The lawyer realises too late he has miscalculated. The girl has an inner strength he had not seen, and she grows into a powerful woman whose intellect is as great as his own.
Her future will not be determined by the lawyer, but by her love for a mysterious American on the run, a man whose influence will ultimately determine if she succeeds in escaping the grasp of the lawyer, or dies a violent death in the Australian bush.
520 pages.
