AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'After a harsh childhood spent in foster care, Luke finally feels at home on Harry's farm, working with horses. When Harry dies and Luke has a bitter falling-out with the people around him, he does a runner, leaving everything behind. He takes off to the gulf country in search of brumbies and finds himself camped by a river with three Aboriginal elders.

'Can a mob of wild brumbies and three wise men help Luke discover who he is and where he belongs?' (From the publisher's website.)
