The inspiring true story of Florence Ward.

In 1912 as a young woman, she voyaged alone to Western Australia leaving behind her life in the coal and mill town of Wigan, Lancashire. She acquired work at the elegant and now historic Moana Cafe in Perth city. Soon after arrival, Florrie experienced a terrifying midnight ordeal with two murderers, whilst walking home after work through the lonely outskirts of the city.

Florrie was a woman of courage and compassion, who for sixty years, fully embraced her new life in the early days of Western Australia. Researched and written by her granddaughter, award-winning biographer Lois D. Cooley.
