Sisters

Lily Harrison has never been beyond the Heads, but on the night she is to reach her new home, she begs to cross Hobson’s Bay in a gale—because her sailor husband is beside her.

In late-nineteenth-century Victoria, young sailor Guthrie Carey has made a home for Lily, the poor girl he married to rescue her from hard work and a loveless household. Now, with their baby wrapped in a rug and their wedding clothes packed for the journey, the couple set out by launch from Sandridge to Williamstown. To Lily, the short crossing is an ocean voyage, every gust and wave part of its romance; to Guthrie, the worsening weather is a warning. He has promised his beloved she will never come to harm while he can protect her. Can the night keep faith with that promise?
