Port Phillip (Victoria) 1839 – 1932.

Everything has changed.

With his parents deceased, his older brother deserting his wife and baby, his younger brother starting over in the new Colony of Port Phillip, William Blay succumbs to the pressures of insolvency. He sells his farm in New Norfolk, Van Diemen’s Land, for less than it’s worth, packs up his wife and three daughters and absconds to Port Phillip.

But life in the new Colony is dogged by the same dramas that hounded William in Van Diemen’s Land. A successful new start is not realised, and his life takes a turn for the worst when his wife has him committed to an insane asylum.

The descendants of the convicts we met in Book One are forced to deal with the First World War, the Great Depression, and the unexplained deaths of infants and mothers.

REVIEWS

My favourite book Cuz.
A few sad moments in time. And mum Norma Ann has certainly picked up Hectors OCD and passed it onto her son Brendan it all makes sense now. Can’t wait for your next book and thank you for getting me reading again feeling connected and proud. Xx

Time Tells All is an excellent read, leading to the conclusion of the story of the Cullen /  Bartlett Dynasty. At times an emotional, tragic and harrowing story, resulting in many tears from this reader.  It is also a story of triumph over adversity by the descendants from their ancestors’ convict past. 5 Stars. Thank you for this entertaining and thought provoking trilogy.

I have already nearly finished the next two. I am having trouble putting them down. Am reading the last bit of the 3rd book and just sitting here now crying at the sadness of parts of it😔
