When thirteen-year-old Bertram Jordan is arrested and sent to a penal colony in Australia, his biggest regret is leaving behind his friend Alice Truelove. The children were each other's comfort when they had to live rough on Wednesbury heath. Now they must face their futures alone. While BJ is learning to survive and then thrive on a cattle ranch in Fremantle, Alice is making her own way in the poverty-stricken Black Country. When a stroke of good fortune means that Alice can start her own business, before long she has established a thriving bakery. As her business grows, so do her responsibilities, and Alice relishes the opportunity to help those who helped her when she was down. But every night as Alice and BJ rest their heads on opposite sides of the world, both go to sleep with the same last thought. Will they ever see each other again?
