Fate weaves its tricky threads amongst the garment of intrigue and
mystery shrouding Miri, a beautiful young Maori woman. Her attempt
to materialize her childhood obsession and fantasy to be other than
she is, only serves to create a mantle of despair to hover over her
life. Her choices, and her mistakes, impact upon her children's
lives as well as those she unwittingly influences. These adults are
confronted by their own personal weaknesses, and they are given
cause to examine their religious and spiritual beliefs, their
family relationships, as well as the cultural expectations, bigotry
and prejudice, accepted as the norm within pre and post World War
II New Zealand society.
When, several years after the heart-rending tragedy Kelly Templeton
inadvertently finds herself at the scene of her parents' murder,
she totally understands why the one person who could have revealed
the mystery surrounding the deaths chose not to tell-police or
family. Kelly herself bears the humiliation and shame engendered
from harmless teen-juiced sexual exploits being highhandedly
exposed by a supercilious busy-body. And worse, the subsequent
prejudicial judgement-a consequence of misconstructions created
within the fabrication of cultural and religious bigotry. She
suffers condemnation without trial, and there doesn't seem to be
any justice or truth in any of it, or anywhere for her to be. Yes
Kelly Templeton knows all too well, no good comes from revealing
someone else's secrets.
