'This is the story about a shameful part of Australia’s history, as seen through the diary of a fictional teenage girl called Rainbird.
'Rainbird, in her simple but evocative style, tells how her father, who died under mysterious circumstances, had been a secret volunteer in a highly confidential undertaking by the Menzies Government in the 1950s.
'Rainbird’s elder brother, Archer, embarks on a mission to reveal the truth, and in so doing, discovers a massive government cover-up. His quest to find the truth and gain compensation for the people who have suffered and lost their lives, is met by intimidation, bloodshed and murder.' (Publisher's blurb)
