Sisters of the Southern Cross - Very Engrossing Novel ~

Just when I thought I had read the best of Jean Grainger's books, I discovered "Sisters of the Southern Cross" and read it right through!

"Sister Claire McAuliffe has been called from Dungarvan, County Waterford, to do God’s work in Jumaaroo, Queensland. Along with four other sisters she is charged with setting up a Catholic school... But life there is far from the spectacular paradise it seems."

Sister Claire risks life and limb multiple times to rid this area of a unscrupulous wealthy man who had killed and robbed to get to a prominent place in this place. The story painted an idealistic picture of an area that did practice white supremacy, and how the church, the Catholic sisters, and others attempted change.
