This is the first book of the COLOURED SANDS TRILOGY. The
Australian Outback Historical Saga is in essence a biography of an
extraordinary woman's life. This is the story of Emily. Coloured
Sands is a melting-pot story with a difference. From the first
lyrical chapters of little Emily's trek to safety after the revenge
massacre of her family in outback Queensland (1901), a host of
extraordinary characters pour in and out of her life. The
pioneering Wilsons and their six children provide the love that
remains indelibly printed on her soul. A crusty policeman saves her
from an institution after sensationalist reporting casts her as The
Crazy Orphan. She is adopted by a famous doctor who almost mends
her wounded spirit. This novel with twists and turns of the heart
captures the essence of a family through the two world wars and the
great depression. The joining of mixed cultures unravels into an
amazingly profound love story. Barbara Hartmann King won an
Australia Day Cultural Prize for Coloured Sands
