Fleeing her family home, 19-year-old Mary Oxnam has few prospects and no connections. Plain and penniless, she must rely on her audacious wit and fierce intelligence to survive.

Drawing on the little-known history of lawless Far North Queensland and based on the true story of a remarkable woman and her intriguing diary, t HE SECREt FAt E OF MARY WAt SON is a thrilling tale of peril and intrigue, infused with a heady combination of beauty and foreboding.
