'I set out to write one of the most beautiful stories ever told, about one of the most terrible things that ever happened.’ - Angela Moran'Killin'. What Withers was talking about was killin', something forbidden under the Lord's commandments. The black man was inferior to the white; there were no two ways about that. But they weren't bloody farm animals either.'- Rory Burke, Jacaranda Ridge.A conflict neither Nell nor Rory Burke perceive is seeping into their marriage. Their story starts in Australia in 1915, with a parish priest committed to building a harmonious outback settlement, one in which Aboriginal people are accepted and their ways respected. But Nell and Rory's banker is obsessed with orchestrating the demise of the Aboriginal people to maximize his wealth. Jacaranda Ridge is the story of love burdened by secrets at a ruthless frontier, of the scourge of humanity split by race, and of what was lost in "new world" countries through detachment from the civilization preceding them.
