Clinging

DEATH SPLIT HIS FAMILY APART. NOW HALF A WORLD AWAY, GEORGE DEDICATES HIS LIFE TO FIGHTING THE INJUSTICE...Sweeping from early 1800s England to the early colonies of Australia, George Douglas is raised in an orphanage after the death of his mother and sister and the traumatic separation from his two remaining brothers.
Clinging tells the story of a man who, with little to his name but a troubled history, spends his years fighting the unjust treatment of First Australians at the hands of greedy immigrant land holders.
Fighting for the Wiradjuri people, George sees firsthand the cruelty of a new colonial Australia establishment and risks his life to protect and amend these atrocities.
"A timely and moving book that angers, inspires and delivers compassion and truth to our darkened history... Brilliant work..." Taryn, Readalot reviewer
