New Zealand, April 1890.
On a cold grey autumn day, eleven-year-old David Campbell finds himself shipwrecked, orphaned, and traumatized on the wild west coast of New Zealand's North Island.
Taken under the wing of a kindly widow on her rugged, remote farm in the back-blocks of northern Taranaki, he thrives and grows into a strong and gentle young man, finds friendship, belonging, and love, and settles down to farm the land.
But war has raised its ugly head in the British Empire, and the young man finds himself dragged unwittingly into the Boer War in South Africa, where all of their lives will be changed forever.
