Born into privilege and wealth, Amanda Webster is a sixth generation Australia descended from white settlers and the third generation to grow up in Kalgoorlie.

When Amanda turned five, she started school and became friends with Aboriginal children from the nearby Kurrawang Mission. In the 1960s the time the lives of Aboriginal people were controlled by the Chief Protector and his local representatives, one of whom was Webster's own grandfather.

Forty years later, Webster returns to her hometown. She confronts her racist blunders, her cultural ignorance and her family's secret past. And so begins her journey of reconciliation and friendship, taking her into a world she hardly knew existed. (back cover)
