Seven Years for Life is a sweeping tale of survival, identity, and the quiet defiance of the human spirit. Inspired bt the true story of Ashurst's convict ancestors, this debut novel brings to life harsh realities of Australia's penal past through the eyes of those who endured it.
Set against the backdrop of the Third Fleet and the unforgiving frontier of colonial New South Wales, the story follows a young couple's journey from incarceration to unexpected transformation.
Through meticulous research and evocative prose, Ashurst reveals the hidden threads of resilience woven into his own family's history. This is not just a story of punishment - it's a story of hardship, of voices long silenced, and of the enduring search for freedom.
