Set in the Hawkesbury-Nepean River area of Australia, then Scotland and England.

Life handed them heartbreak, and then they discovered hope.

Will the vines draw them close together?

Fran Rea is a foundling, alone and unloved.

Hetty Walker grew up in a convict town and knows not all convicts are really bad. She wants to help some of the abused convict girls.

Hector Macdougal is a convict worker assigned to Hetty. He stands out from the other men as he helps rather than abuses the girls.

His words bring change, but will Fran listen to them? Will she realise he feels far more for her than he should? Does she trust him?
