Mistreated Aborigines forced off their land at gunpoint. Over a decade later, one passionate young woman would take up their fight... Melbourne, 1970's. Twenty-three-year-old university student Barbara Miller always stood her ground, even when it caused rejection in her own family. So, when she became a radical Christian advocate for social change, she didn't think twice about joining the movement for Aboriginal justice. Boldly relocating to tropical Cape York and linking up with a Black activist and mentor on the frontline, she plunged into a life-changing battle despite the State's threat of legal prosecution. In this powerful story of a people's violent removal from their ancient land, Miller recounts how she joined a decade-long struggle to restore the Mapoon people to their beloved homeland.
