Albert 'Poppy' Gondiwindi has spent his life on the banks of the Murrumby River at Prosperous House, Massacre Plains, Australia. He is determined to pass on the language of his people, the indigenous Wiradjuri tribe, and everything that was ever remembered by the ancestors. August Gondiwindi has been living in Europe for ten years when she learns of her grandfather's death. Home for his burial, wracked with grief and burdened with memories, she confronts the love of her kin and news that Prosperous is to be repossessed by a mining company. Her endeavors to save their land leads her to the voice of her grandfather and into the past, the stories of her people, the secrets of the river. -- adapted from jacket
