Emily wants what people say she cannot have, and those she cares about are in life-threatening danger if they don't listen to her warnings. The thirteen-year-old’s world is falling apart. Even the boy she has a crush on, Jarrah, might outgrow his attachment to her and leave to be with his people and follow their law—which excludes her.

Feel the suspense as Emily tries to gain those things she wants for herself. On each attempt she fails. When something precious to Jarrah is threatened, Emily springs into action. While on a quest to save the Dreaming Billabong, she defies her mother, faces childhood fears, and learns valuable lessons about culturally different people. Can she grow in maturity and complete the task? If she does succeed, will she learn of the mystery her father hides from her, gain a greater understanding of her family, and learn to respect Jarrah’s cultural heritage? This is a coming-of-age crime novel that at times becomes a psychological thriller.
