“This is the story of a woman in bondage to an obsession – her love for a child not her own.  About to set out in 1837 as emigrants to the new colony of South Australia, Charles and Robina Daventry, in strange circumstances, find themselves left with a supposed foundling, a baby boy.  Despite Charle’s protestations, the childless Robina takes the child with them and brings him up as their son.”
