Louise was from a middle-class background and was well educated. Lucy is sensitive and fearful. Peggy was born in a slum and is shrewd and streetwise. Yet all three became united under the teaching of the well-known Quaker prison reformer, Mrs Elizabeth Fry.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">This third book continues from <em>A Shining Path.<\/em> It begins in Bath, England, with Peggy\u2019s wedding in Bath Abbey, where she marries a French aristocrat. The emphasis then shifts to Jane Bell, one of Peggy\u2019s bridesmaids.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">Jane is not a convict but had been sent to New South Wales by her father, a vicar, because she was an embarrassment to the family. In the small school where she is posted, Jane gets involved with the headmaster and becomes pregnant. She doesn\u2019t tell him before he returns to England, although they become engaged the day before he sails.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">Jane is spared the scandal of having an illegitimate baby when her son is adopted at birth by Louise, who is now married to an officer who owns a farm outside Sydney.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3942db5 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con
