'Shadow lines is a deeply moving biography of Stephen Kinnane’s maternal grandmother, Jessie Smith (née Argyle), removed in 1906 from her mother and extended family in Miriwoong country, eastern Kimberley. It also traces the life of his English grandfather, Edward Smith: his childhood, immigration to Western Australia and later marriage to Jessie Argyle. Shadow lines is a remarkable story of a woman’s fight for the right to live unhindered by government policies regarding Aborigines, at a time when Aboriginal lives were forfeit to the whims of white bureaucracy.'
