The two sisters, born from a family of European pioneers, have the same DNA and family upbringing, but end up taking very different paths in life. It is the story of two good women who remain so, but who's lives diverge due to the different paths they chose. One ending in a short life mostly out of the public eye, the other, a longer life mostly in the public eye. One of these women was Annie, whose husband was William McKenzie, known as "Fighting Mac", hero of Gallipoli, World War 1 and regional leader of the Salvation Army.
