Surviving Sydney Cove: The Diary of Elizabeth Harvey: Goldie Alexander

Lizzie Harvey, a convict girl transported to Sydney Cove, starving and overworked. She has to fetch water, mend clothes, serve her Master, care for his daughter and tiptoe around his moody soldier son. She can barely find the time to dream about the way things used to be, let alone write in her diary. But she must -it is her only hope of reaching out to the home she has left behind, thousands of miles across the sea.
