From the million-copy bestselling author of The Frozen River comes a thrilling story inspired by the life of an infamous Irish sea captain and folk heroine who risked everything to protect her people against the powerful Elizabethan regime.

Grace O’Malley was born to be at sea. Raised by her father, chief of clan O’Malley, Grace learns early that her dreams of the open water are not compatible with the life she’s expected to lead as the daughter of a noble family. And when her father marries her to a neighbouring chief, Grace’s world shifts for the worse.

Undaunted, Grace raises a family without abandoning her passion, aiding her hot-tempered husband in his campaigns against rival tribes. Eventually ousted from her husband’s land in the wake of his death, Grace returns to her childhood home and begins her career as a pirate in earnest, claiming new territories and finding deeper love, only to see her livelihood threatened by English incursions into Ireland, and her family endangered in an attempt to check her power.

In the manicured suburbs of Northern Virginia, Jacquie is living the dream: a beautiful neighbourhood, a successful American husband, Brandon, and two happy children. But behind the doors of their family home, all is not as picturesque as it seems.

A trip home to her mother’s alpaca farm on the rugged South Coastof New South Wales was supposed to be a simple holiday. Instead, the salt air clears her vision. Away from Brandon’s shadow and controlling behaviours, Jacquie and her children finally begin to breathe—and she realises she can never go back.

But Brandon is a man who refuses to lose. With the threat of international parental abduction charges hanging over her like a guillotine, Jacquie is trapped. If she stays, she’s a criminal. If she returns, she’s his prey.

How far will a mother go to save her children from a picture-perfect life?

This is a fascinating look at the Top End’s history.

Edith Wright grew up listening to stories about her great-grandfathers, Harry Hunter and Adrien D’Antoine, two white men from Europe came to rule the pearling industry at its peak in northwest Australia. Between them, they changed the social and cultural fabric of the Kimberley region for generations to come, fathering many mixed-race children and gaining reputations for violent and exploitative behaviour towards Bardi Jawi people. The Burden and the Blessing gives a rare insight into the cosmopolitan hub of Broome during the heyday of the pearling and boat-building industries. Using eyewitness accounts and archival records, it describes the bombing of Broome in World War II, the impact of leprosy and the Bungarun leprosarium in Derby, and the rapid development of the infrastructure of the north from the perspective of a descendant of a complex legacy. Edith confronts the painful and challenging histories of her family and of two white men who changed the face of the Kimberley forever.
