'Stewart, wounded and angry, finds himself abandoned and alone on a remote beach on the east coast of 19th century Tasmania. Determined to make the best of a bad situation, he decides to travel west as far as he can to the uninhabited coast. It will be an arduous task but one he must at least attempt.

'Along the way, he stumbles across sixteen-year-old Irish, shackled and imprisoned in a whalers' camp cave. Stewart rescues her, and the story develops smoothly, drawing the two together in a journey of friendship, self-discovery and suspense.

'Theirs is a life of danger mixed with bravery, teamwork, honesty and satisfaction, while their emotional attraction is innocent, open and heartfelt, allowing these two remarkable characters to grow into lifelong mates as they search for a place to call home.'
