'Remarkable. At once heartbreaking and triumphant' Patricia Grace
In the 1950s, a young Nghuia is fostered by a family who believe in hard work and community. Although close to her kuia, she craves more: she wants higher education and refined living.

After moving to Auckland for university, Nghuia advocates resistance as a founding member of Ng Tamatoa and the Women's and Gay Liberation movements, becoming a critical voice in protests from Waitangi to the streets of Wellington.
