The personal journey of a knockabout character bounces through the events beyond his control and beyond his comprehension. A misjudged plane flight results in death and deception. Survival becomes his focus as he gradually claws his way back to mainstream living. Along the way, he partakes in unimagined ventures and meets locals who help him readjust to a different form of everyday life.

The Cane Suite brings to mind the vagaries of Queensland weather. The stories it tells thunder through the emotions like tropical downpours, they warm the soul like sultry summer nights and bring just the merest hint of chill to the reader''s very core. Memories of childhoods past and and lives lived now are evoked through the eyes of one strong woman, her family and friends and the place where they live.
