Summary:A river pebble charm has an astonishing true story to tell, of one family's survival in harsh colonial Australia... When artistic Millie visits a long-lost aunt, she learns about her family's tragic past. Could the ghost girl Millie has painted be her own ancestor? In 1839, Charlotte Atkinson lives at Oldbury a grand estate in the bush, with her mamma and her sisters and brother. But after her father dies, things go terribly wrong-murderous convicts, marauding bushrangers and worst of all a cruel new stepfather. Frightened for their lives the family flees on horseback to a hut in the wilderness. The Atkinson family must fight to save their property, their independence and even the right to stay together. Will they ever return to their beautiful home?
