A gripping tale that draws parallels between fiction and historical fact, “ An Unbreakable Dream ” delves into the experiences of Irish individuals who were transported to Australia for what are now considered minor offenses. Dr. Paddy Fulham, in the foreword, aptly notes that this work of fiction mirrors the real-life struggles of many Irish citizens during a time when transportation served dual purposes – ridding the country of perceived “troublemakers” while providing a source of inexpensive labour for white Australian settlers.
