Twyla, an Aboriginal child separated from family and suffering memory loss, is forced to work as a domestic servant on a property in north-west NSW, where she takes refuge at the creek and finds a friend and protector in Gamilaraay station hand, Garruu.
Sheep overseer Tom, an emancipist and former Kidderminster carpet weaver, alienated by geography and by the settler violence around him, hungers for family, friends and justice.
When Garruu is wrongfully arrested, Twyla and Tom’s courage is tested as they stand up for justice in the face of intense racism.
Weaving together a vivid sense of Country, and laced with Gamilaraay language, Crossing the Creek is a love story between a man, a woman and a place, and an important act of truth-telling through fiction.

Reviews
'Crossing the Creek is a stunning novel that comes to life through sensitive writing, with scenes of violence or love portrayed with intimacy that is heartbreaking and utterly believable. The inclusion of Gamilaraay words brings hidden language back to life. This novel will open the eyes and minds of readers to Australian shared history.' (Julie Janson, author of Compassion)
