Description

Her mom and Kitty are left impoverished, when 18-year-old Kitty Carlisle's dad dies suddenly in Norfolk in 1838. Her status is left in shreds, after Kitty is found in a compromising situation by having an unscrupulous adventurer. In frustration, her mom banishes Kitty towards the hives in shame, underneath the guardianship of her dour missionary dad and his long suffering spouse. From the background of the rowdy and wild Bay of Countries in the time prior to the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, Kitty meets and falls in deep love with Ryan Farrell, a rude, atheistic and aloof boats chief.
