The Theft of Truth

When Maud Wright discovers a letter concealed inside an old mahogany writing case, it leads her to nineteenth-century Ireland and the story of William Irwin Keon. Convicted of stealing four pigs and transported to New South Wales, William left behind a wife, young children, and a disputed inheritance.

While William fights to survive in the colony, his wife Catherine refuses to let the truth disappear. Drawing on real court records, family letters, and historical events, The Theft of Truth is a story of injustice, courage, and one family's determination to reclaim what was taken from them.
