McALISTER's LADY
The Prequel to the McALISTER LINE
A series tracing the adventures of the members of the McAlister Family.
While trolling through
the family’s past, Zach and Angela uncover the story of how the first
McAlisters came to Australia.
It all started in the
quite Dorset town of Cerne Abbas during the Napoleonic Wars.
Vicar’s daughter, Christina Proud marries smithy, and sometime smuggler, Will Jenkins, who soon falls foul of the law. Will is given a choice — take the King’s shilling or the noose. So, Will joins the army and Christina’s begins her odyssey as a camp follower.
The battalion is quickly deployed to Spain to join General Arthur Wellesley’s Peninsula Army, fighting against the French. Threatened by platoon Sergeant Jack Newell and with her husband powerless to help, Christina is befriended by Lieutenant Jonathan McAlister who offers her projection.
