'Every evening Possum waits with Olga in the calm water of Hope Bay for the dolphins to surge from the deep. They only ever come for the old woman and no one knows why, though Possum is sure it is magic. But there is more to Olga than just magic... there are secrets. Secrets that drove Olga far away from her homeland to the precious, pristine wilderness of Hope Bay. Secrets that she will never speak of, not even to Possum.' (Source: back cover)
