SYNOPSIS
A crippled English woman arrives in a savage land charged with
civilising the natives and, instead, discovers the key to her
liberation.
Mary Ann Martin came to New Zealand in 1841, the young wife of
New Zealand's first chief justice. They set up home in Parnell.
Intrepid, intelligent and possessing a great sense of humour,
she disregarded her personal disability, set about learning Te Reo,
established a makeshift hospital for Maori on the beach at Judges
Bay and dared to dream of all that was possible in this brave new
world.
