There are enormous positives with adoption. Realistically, though, when adopting older children from an overseas country, there are many emotional hurdles to over come before this can be truly acknowledged. The word 'adoption' in its most ideal of definitions conjures in one's mind the matching of a needy child to a loving family, however, this falls a long way short in reflecting the journey of all those involved in any adoption. The author speaks candidly regarding the frustrations and the events he and his family confronted before they could begin to absorb the joys of being a family. As the legacy of the past for each member of the family lost its significance, the family bond grew strong enough to challenge the obstacles that had been brought before it.

Out of the great Kimberley goldrush of 1886 came stories of hard men in a hostile land. Some grew into legends, entering folklore, larger than life in their own lifetimes but now almost completely forgotten. Men like those of the Ragged Thirteen, Paddy the Flat, Tom Hood, Frank Hann, Billy O'Donnell, William Carr-Boyd and Russian Jack. Women also, Mother Dead Finish and the Mountain Maid. Of all these none has seen the legend eclipse the man as the story of Russian Jack. A legend in his own lifetime, the strongest man on the goldfields, Wheelbarrow Jack.
