'Australian Shirley Shackleton was launched into an unexpected life as a human rights activist when her journalist husband Greg Shackleton was killed in East Timor in 1975. Her story is filled with a profound sense of purpose, enduring love for her late husband, and a fierce determination to seek truth and justice not only regarding the events leading up to the murders of the journalists who came to be known as Balibo Five, but for the cause of democracy and freedom in East Timor.' (From the publisher's website.)

Epigraph: Life is mostly froth and bubble,/ Two things stand like stone,/ Kindness in another's trouble,/ Courage in your own.
