But when she comes back to Australia, her daughter, Lesley, brings her Cassandra, Lesley’s daughter, and asks to leave the girl with Nell for some time. She buys a part of their estate and goes back to Australia to take all her staff and settle in her family’s land. In some years she finds out everything about her true parents, thus she goes to London, where she figures out that her parents where Nathaniel and Rose Walker, noble aristocrats, but they died many years ago. In some time she gets married with another man, gives birth to a baby, but she doesn’t feel herself being a good mother. She breaks up with her fiancé, doesn’t keep good relations with Hugh, Lil and sisters. After that confession Nell changed: from cheerful and sincere girl to offish and close woman. But once, when Nell is 18 years old, and she has her “pre-wedding” party, her father dares to confess to her he is not her true father he has found her many years ago in the port, where she was sitting alone on her suitcase. She has two sisters and their family lives happily. First the reader knows her as Nell Andrews, a daughter of Hugh and Lil Andrews, living in Australia.
