When Florence decided to research the family tree she opened a can of worms. A ghost for a start. Wronged Royal women crying out to be heard. Like Maria Fitzherbert who the Prince of Wales secretly married (cover). They lived 250 years ago. Royal children who were 'disappeared' possibly on the First Fleets of convicts to the new colonies of Australia. As unwanted or orphaned children.
