"From the back cover" When Jo Breen uses her divorce settlement to buy a neglected farm in the Byron Bay hinterland, she is hoping for a tree change, and a blooming connection to the land of her Aboriginal ancestors. What she discovers instead is sharp dissent from her teenage daughter Ellen, trouble brewing from unimpressed white neighbours and a looming Native Title war among the local Bundjalung families. When Jo stumbles into love on one side of the Native Title divide she quicly learns that living on country is only part of the recipe for the Good Life.
