Fiction

Pearl in a Cage ended in May 1939 when, just 15 years old, Jenny Morrison fled Woody Creek for Melbourne. She left behind a dysfunctional family, a town of gossips and, most tragically, a newborn baby - the product of a vicious rape. Yet just months later she is back - wiser and with a new wardrobe - but with a second child growing in her belly.
