Summary The powerful Murrumbidgee River surges through town, leaving death and destruction in its wake. It is a stark reminder that, while the river can give life, it can just as easily take it away. Wagadhaany is one of the lucky ones. She survives. Forced to move away from her miyagan, she walks through each day with no trace of dance in her step, her broken heart forever calling her back home to Gundagai. When she meets Wiradyuri stockman Yindyamarra, Wagadhaany's heart slowly begins to heal. But still she dreams of a better life, away from the degradation of being owned. She longs to set out along the river of her ancestors, in search of lost family and country. Can she find the courage to defy the White man's law? And if she does, will it bring hope... or heartache?
