It was a time when refugees seized with both hands the chance for freedom; a time when people of more than seventy nations gathered beneath the Southern Cross to forge a new national identity. From the blood of Berlin to the birth of Israel, from the Italian Alps to the Snowy Mountains, Heritage tells the story of the birth of new Australia. Judy Nunn is at the height of her powers in this passionate and fast-paced tale of rebirth, struggle, sacrifice and redemption.
