Description
A masterfully told epic of the Kimberley, Writing WA describes it as a generous and heartwarming story that is beautifully written, bringing the characters and country to vivid life.
A murder in the remote bush in 1916 sparks a chain of events that will haunt a family for generations. Hidden in the refuge of a secret valley, their tiny community lives unknown to the world.
When, a century later, Broome schoolboy Dancer falls foul of the local bikie gang, he and his father head up the Gibb River Road. Here, in a maze of rugged ranges and remote communities, Dancer begins to unravel the truth behind the mysterious disappearance of Milly Rider, the mother he never knew. But the valley hides its secrets well.
As Dancer learns the ways of his mother's country, he uncovers a precious inheritance—one not even those closest to Milly expected to find.

About the Author
Steve Hawke grew up in Melbourne but found his way to the Northern Territory and then the Kimberley as a nineteen-year-old in 1978. Captivated by the country, the history and the people, he stayed for almost fifteen years working with Aboriginal communities and organisations. He now lives in the hills outside Perth, but continues his strong association with the Kimberley, returning most years.
