Gwen Wilson discusses her debut historical novel, Louisa.

Discover the compelling journey of Louisa Whitley, a courageous woman who defied Victorian constraints to forge a new life in 19th-century Australia. From her daring departure alone on the emigrant ship Leicester Castle to the harsh realities of colonial life, Louisa’s story unfolds with resilience, passion, and unwavering hope.

Betrayal, heartbreak, and societal judgment shadow her steps, yet Louisa’s determination to claim independence – and her right to love – drives a story of courage and transformation.

Signed copies available for $33.00 cash or card. Also available, I Belong to No One, and, Shifting Sands.
