If you are looking for a rollicking, lusty tale of outback life, then this is the book for you. While working as a shearer, AJ meets Sky, a beautiful part-aboriginal girl and it is through a misunderstanding that they lose touch. In time he meets and marries the wealthy, spoiled and spirited Prudence.
On his way to fight in Vietnam, the planeload of soldiers stops over in Darwin where he reconnects with Sky and learns he is a father. Amazingly, Sky and Prudence become firm friends and together operate the 'Big Sky' cattle station in the Kimberleys while waiting for AJ's return.
Lance Wilson's tale is certainly raunchy at some stages but is predominantly the story of a family enduring and thriving in the Australian outback and rural Tasmania. AJ, Sky and Prudence are down-to-earth characters and are supported in their journeys through life by a large cast of colourful hangers on.
