Letitia Munro - The Letitia Munro Series, #1

A true tale of Australia's first white settlement. Letitia Munro is a true tale of those who in witless ignorance transform the world's biggest prison into a land of free enterprise and pride. Ignominy of servitude was bred into the first white Australians as was irrefragable support for the underdog, determination of purpose towards mateship, their flippant attitude to authority and conventions of class distinction, and a will to cleave a path out of adversity to grasp chance and create opportunity.
Their children grow up in the shadows of their parents' pasts, unwitting of the social taboos being woven into the fabric of their spawning culture. When the sins of their fathers become beholden on them as society values change, must they deny their very heritage?
