More DescriptionLuisa's Journey is a poignant tale of courage, friendship and resilience. Believing herself responsible for her baby sister's death, Luisa Auer, a spirited and independent young German Jewess yearns to escape from her parent's condemnation and an unwanted marriage. Full of dreams for her future, she flees from her home and embarks on the long and daring journey bound for Australia with Wilhelm, her best friend's younger brother. Louisa's travels introduce her to Clara, a kindred spirit, and together they perform in a variety show. Luisa also meets her uncle and his family, who offer her the familial love she longs for. Just when life seems idyllic, a series of unforeseen events sends Luisa's world spiralling into uncertainty. In the face of heartache, betrayal and loss, Luisa finds herself standing alone. She must learn to put aside her own desires or lose everything.
