Members Reviews:
Haunting, disturbing but necessary.
The story was immensely haunting, characters were well developed and I felt connected to them all. A relevant topic to all in Australia. A disturbing but necessary reflection on the effects of unwavering border security.
Hope Jock Seeing never stops writing!

riveting
powerful imagery, outstanding narration
this story was dramatic, tragic and based on real issues faced in recent years by Australasian governments.
