He's young, strong and healthy, has a loving family and has won the affection of his sweetheart Catherine. Unfortunately, Patrick is also quick tempered and has an unfortunate tendency to use his fists to settle disputes. A relatively minor confrontation with the occupying British Redcoats escalates and Patrick's world is torn apart as he becomes a pawn in the political aspirations of the United Irishmen and suffers the wrath of the British dominated Irish penal system. With everything he holds dear seemingly lost Patrick finds himself thrust into an emotional and physical journey that will see him plummet into the depths of rage and despair as he is transported on the convict ship Boddington to the penal colony of New South Wales. Will he ever see his family or his beloved Ireland again ? And Catherine - all his future revolved around Catherine - what can he hope to offer her now ? Patrick’s Journey is an historical fiction novel based on the real life history of one of Australia’s early Irish convict settlers. It could be described as simply an entertaining “romance\/adventure” novel, but the story goes deeper than that. The “Journey” in the story is twofold, there is the physical journey from one mode of existence in Ireland to a completely different one in Australia and the emotional\/spiritual journey that accompanies such drastic changes in Patrick’s world. With an uplifting message of redemption merged into its adventure \/ romance theme Patrick’s Journey is an historical fiction novel based on the real life history of one of Australia’s early Irish convict settlers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roy T Humphreys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53097733783776,"sku":"9780994193919","price":83.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/713at2XQrTL._SY522.jpg?v=1781687540","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/patricks-journey","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
