One lie is told -- and it leaves Rosetta abandoned by a bigamist in Victorian London, 1861.
Pregnant, Rosetta is rejected by her family, with nowhere to turn -- unless to the streets, to the workhouse ...
... or to immigrate as a domestic to a new colony half a world away! She will put to good use her years in service.
But before she can bring her plan into fruition she falls victim to a swindler who takes even the little that she has.
Later through a new friend and mentor Rosetta learns something about her own past which she would rather not have known.
Is Rosetta's past about to catch up with her?
This is a biographical saga, based on the life of the author's great-great-grandmother. The gaps are filled fictionally -- but who knows? some truth may have been uncovered by accident!
