Down Under Interviews Speaks with Historical Fiction Author Sara Powter

Sara Powter worked with her mother Sheila Hunter researching their family history. They discovered many wonderful Australian Colonial stories from the four Convicts they found in their tree through this research. Sheila thought the stories were too good to forget so she penned an Australian Colonial Trilogy which Sara had printed after Sheila’s death in 2002.

Sara now continues the retelling.

Weaving fact with fiction tells of the amazing and intrepid souls who worked together to make our wonderful country the fabulous place it is today; the convicts turned adversity to advantage! Stolen from their loved ones in England they worked and were rewarded with ‘Tickets Of Leave’ each becoming some of Parramatta’s and Emu Plains’ leading citizens. Like many untold convict stories there was often faith behind them. Their strong Christian Faith was taught to each generation.  Event Link
