Description
Jay and her four childhood friends find a group of ancient trees carved by an Aboriginal tribe to identify sacred land. Their discovery opens their eyes to an older world, and they grow closer as they spend time near the trees and the river that runs through the farm. However, as tension over land rights flickers in the grown-ups' lives, the children's attempt to protect the grove ends in disaster. Seventeen years later, Jay finally has her chance to make amends. But not every wrong can be put right, and sometimes looking the other way is no longer an option. The consequences of their actions are revealed in a powerful exploration of friendship, loyalty, and the complexities of growing up. Inga Simpson's beautifully written novel explores the intricate relationships between people and the natural world, and the difficult choices we must make when our worlds collide.
