Through sheer strength of will, young Daisy overcame her miserable start, and in 1883 she migrated to Australia with a boatload of orphans, passing herself off as an heiress who taught for fun. Marriage followed—first with the young Breaker Morant, then bigamously with two other husbands. For decades she led a double life. But who was the real Daisy Bates?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile other biographies have presented her as a saint, historian Susanna De Vries gives readers a more complex portrait of the \"Queen of the Never Never.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bolinda audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038963253488,"sku":"9781743157589","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781743157589_p0.jpg?v=1763704047","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781743157589","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
