'Paul is about to graduate near the top of his class as a motorcycle mechanic. He was once a gang member but, having served his time, is about to be released from prison. All he needs is a job and a safe place to live.

'Paul is also an Aboriginal of the Kamilaroi mob, trying to live between two cultures, yet he faces misunderstanding, racism and intolerance nearly every day.

'In this book, Peter J. Uren explores the impact Paul's experiences have on the lives of the old mechanic and those who work in his workshop.' (Publication summary)
