Girls Succeed, Inspirational for Girls 9 Years Onward

Homeless orphan Runaway Finn had lived with a group of boys who survived living on their wits and theft in London. Arrested for a minor crime when fifteen years Finn is transported to Tasmania. Esther’s deceased father a doctor and mother emigrated from England to Tasmania. They were devoted to each other and were a good example to Esther of what it meant to share life with another. In 1838, on the first day of Finn’s parole, when he leaves hospital after an injury Finn is penniless. Esther, alone in the world lives with a family where she is employed to teach a small girl.
