Historically, the USA contended with outlaws Billy the Kid and Jesse James, but Australia had an equally notorious bushranger; his name, Ned Kelly. Undoubtedly, they were all unrepentant individuals! In Australia, much is known about Ned Kelly, but not everything. For example, very little is known about Ned’s son, Niall, a bloke whose actions arguably overshadow the combined exploits of Billy, Jesse AND Ned. Ned Kelly’s Son is a romantic historical adventure. You will fall in love with Orla O’Meara as she travels from her home in Ireland to the land where she comes to make her home. She will influence history by leaving her greatest gift – a son – and will challenge you to think beyond present records.
