(You will need tissues for the first 3 chapters)
Escaping bigotry and prejudice in Ireland, the O’Shane family live on a secluded farm on the west coast of Ireland. The potato blight soon decimates their farm. It’s always darkest before dawn, and the two remaining girls cling to the hope of a new life. With the kindness of strangers, the oldest girls, Clare and Kerry, head to their cousin, Sal Lockley, in Parramatta, Australia. A new wonderful life awaits them both.
Shéamus Connor is the annoying teenage boy who reluctantly draws Clare’s affection. However, living in a convict town means ruffians abound.
John Moore is an angry and troubled Irishman, content to live alone on another secluded farm until he discovers Clare and two other lads need rescuing.
Can John protect her from the pain inflicted by an evil world?
Can Shéamus find his lost love?

This is the Wyoming Convict Lock-up, where John Moore would have been held.
He was arrested in the middle of the night and not given a chance to prove his innocence. It took three years to clear his name, and eventually, he became a magistrate to ensure justice for everyone. John was later chosen to be one of the three trusted Magistrates to approve underage girls to marry.
John's story is as accurate as I can make it, given the scarcity of details. He was known as an angry Irishman. With what I have read of him, it's no wonder.
The Apology by Faunce was published, and John was awarded a pittance in compensation.
In the 1840s, John owned at least 6 blocks in East Gosford. By 1860, he had only one. (pink map)
