Daisy was spared the noose. But the drop may have been kinder than the dark horrors that awaited her in the sweltering heat of Van Diemen’s land.
Daisy Woods was a 16-year-old thief. On the unrelenting, cold streets of London, it was the only path to survival for her family.
Her innocent naivety meant that it was only a matter of time before she was caught.
For the sin of trying to feed her starving siblings, she was sentenced to seven years at the penal colony on Van Diemen’s land.
Through her wit, she managed to avoid work at the feared Hobart factory. Instead, she was placed as a maid at the home of Clement Green. But at the Green residence, every footstep on the stair brought with it a new danger. The young woman vowed to return to London to provide security for her family. Daisy would endure her sentence and earn her ticket to leave. To do so, she was advised to do whatever it took.
It became her mantra.
She would shake off the stigma; cast off the shame. England lay many miles across the sea, but she was determined she would set foot upon it again and create a new life filled with love.
Daisy would do whatever it took.
