A story of survival, second chances … and a dance with danger. Young Billy Marks is a pickpocket, transported to the penal colony of New South Wales. He and his mate reckon they’ll become bushrangers- but that’s before Billy’s had a chance to see the bush up close. And when he buys the big white brumby stallion, covered with scars but refusing to bend to any man’s will, he knows he made the right choice. Billy’s daughter Mattie Jane thinks her father can ride any horse who ever lived … and so can she! But when tragedy strikes, the Marks clan, including Mattie and her beloved horse, Rebel Yell, will need all the courage they can find to keep the family together.
The deeds and disputed stories of Jackie French’s own ancestors inspire another novel – a novel of proud and gutsy horses, trailblazing farmers and their resilient wives, and desperate men forced to break the law to survive.
