The past holds a dark and shocking secret that haunts the land and the people who live there.

Industry Reviews
Wilkinson has a gift for historical narrative and her ability to weave the past with the present results in an astonishing book that deserves attention. * Kids Book Review *
Well written by Carole Wilkinson. She handles the time travel very well and prevents confusion with short chapters and hooks that carry the reader on. All high school and young adult readers in Australia in particular should confront themselves with this novel. An enjoyable but harrowing read. * Bob's Book Blog *
This story is well written and covers a topic that many people may not be aware. Highly recommend it. * Sharon Greenaway Reviews *
A very enjoyable book has lots of opportunities to study Australia's early history. The detail included by the author about sourcing evidence and primary sources for historical study will also prove valuable in schools. * ReadPlus *
This is an awesome book and the revelations of the terrible past add a layer of significance for a modern-day reader. With hints at things from history that are inherently interesting, but also with the personal story of a young teenager coming to terms with her sad past, and her loneliness, this is a book to be recommended on many levels. * ReadPlus *
This is a fantastic look at Australian history, something that Carole does incredibly well. The setting is real, the past is confronting, and the character's problems are heartfelt. * Lamont *
It has mystery, drama and humour but doesn't flinch from difficult issues. * Magpies Magazine *
Inheritance is a gripping, confronting and beautifully written story based on true events. I believe is an essential and important read, especially for readers between the ages of 10 and 14. * Great Escape Books *
