Remember Me by Lesley Pearse

A Transported Convict Fights For Survival And Freedom

Good Condition - Spine creasing, rubbing and corner wear, small mark on front cover.

At eighteen, Mary Broad steals a silk hat in desperation and is condemned to death. A last-minute reprieve spares her life, but sends her aboard a convict ship bound for the remote settlement of Australia. For a Cornish girl who has travelled no farther than Plymouth, the journey and its destination seem almost as frightening as the sentence she has escaped. Faced with brutal conditions and an unknown future, Mary draws on courage and determination to survive. Based on a true story, Lesley Pearse's historical novel follows a young woman confronted by extraordinary hardship, exploring the resilience required to hold on to hope when home is a world away.
