Book Description
Unlike most stepmothers, Mim Tarrant's was a veritable Gorgon-the epitome of wicked stepmothers of fiction; selfish, carping, and with a cruel streak in her. Mim could have stood it for herself, but what she could not bear was to see her little brother Karri at Lydia's mercy. The only solution, she decided, was to run away-so she adopted a suitable disguise and whisked Karri as far off as possible from their Sydney home-to a timber camp in the jungle of Northern Queensland. Unfortunately, to anyone who didn't know the facts, it looked as if Mim would have given anything to tell him the whole story-but what would happen to Karri if she did?
