Liverpool in the 1920s is a hard place to be an orphan, and Fiona and Joseph Dolan know it better than most. With their mother gone and their father vanished, poverty forces an impossible choice: board a ship bound for Australia and leave everything they have ever known behind. What waits for them on the other side of the world is no easier, but the siblings' fierce loyalty to one another carries them through. A powerful story of leaving, loss and the resilience it takes to begin again.
