Entwining lives tell of history of WW 2 from a new perspective.
In 1945 a young girl finds herself in Western Australia. She has aged from 12 to 15 and has no recollection of the missing years. It will take her fifty years to learn what happened.
Buried in her thoughts is a fear of civilisation. A chance meeting with aboriginal women leads from the 'flawed-sanctuary' of the mission. They take a walk-about.
In a cave in the desert, the Girl remembers her arrival in Australia by plane, and the death of the crew. The memories prompt her to ask herself: did she kill the pilot?
She was carrying a large parcel of diamonds. Were they lost forever? She cannot remember anything after Christmas 1942. She is aware of her youth and the knowledge of her family.
When a young man of European descent finds the cave, the prospect of re-entering Western civilisation and the modern world rears its head. If she follows that path - if she follows this man - would she find any more answers? Would she find true love?
