In the aftermath of the Great Depression few opportunities existed for working-class boys, but at just eighteen Danny Dunn has everything going for him: brain, looks, sporting ability - and an easy charm. His parents run The Hero, a neighbourhood pub, and Danny is a local hero. Luck changes for Danny when he signs up to go to war. He returns home a physically broken man, to a life that will be changed for ever. Together with Helen, the woman who becomes his wife, he sets about rebuilding his life - a life tormented by personal demons, shaped by compassion, corruption, love, ambition and the destructive power of obsession - and gifted with twin daughters Sam and Gabby. Set against a backdrop of Australian pubs and politics, this is an Australian family saga spanning three generations.
