Born as settlers move into the Wimmera, this is an account of the struggles of an Aboriginal boy in the 1850s. Following the murder of his mother, young Warranook finds himself on a journey that will take him across the world.
His new life in Reading is at times bewildering. While those around him rejoice in what they see as his salvation, Warranook reaches his own conclusions on the meaning of life and his ultimate destination.
