Set against the backdrop of Alice Springs from 1914 to 1929, the narrative centers on the Bungalow, a home for Aboriginal children with absent white fathers, primarily cared for by Topsy Smith and schoolteacher Ida Standley. It highlights the lives of these children and the complexities of Indigenous and non-Indigenous relationships in Australia. Utilizing archival documents and oral histories, the work blends researched history with creative non-fiction, offering a fresh perspective on Australia's colonial past and its enduring impact on contemporary society.
