I fell in love with the little orphan Ricky who against all odds survives on the streets of Sydney in the early colonial days. Ricky adopts other boys in similar conditions and together the three boys turn their lives around. By the time Ricky is grown his life has taken some agazing twists and turns. Tad and Will too discover mush about their own lives. Each find love and happiness, Each also work to gether to provide a safe haven for others in a similar position. I really wished for a sequel!
