‘Everyone knows that some of those kids are innocent … your dilemma is not whether the kids are innocent, but which of the kids are innocent.’

When Cathy McLennan first steps into Townsville’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Service as a young graduate she isn’t expecting a major murder case to land on her desk. The accused are four teenage boys whose family connections stretch across the water to Palm Island. As she battles to prove herself in the courtroom, Cathy realises that the truth is far more complex than she first thought. She starts to question who are the criminals and who are the victims.

Saltwater tells the compelling story of one lawyer’s fight for justice amongst the beauty and the violence of this tropical paradise.

Read this last year while living on Magnetic Island. Cathy provides a realistic insight into a depraved existence suffered by a number of indigenous children. Her early career experience at Palm Island and Townsville, while working for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Legal Affairs takes her into a world that is alien to most of us. Her book is an honest insight into confronting issues facing not only those involved in indigenous affairs and politics, but our society as a whole. ...a

Growing up in Townsville Aboriginal people were part of the furniture. From the homeless winos under the bridge and parks to the sweet girls in the boarding school we all interacted with them at sometime or another but I'm sure we had little understanding of them and often less respect. Palm island was talked about as both a terrifying yet magical place and we couldn't understand why many of them didn't want this island 'paradise'.Family and friends have worked in the courts and the Bulletin

Well paced writing and a quick read, but by no means an easy read. You will be left with a heavy heart but a glimmer of hope that there are people such as McLennan fighting for justice. Thanks Caffey for the insight.

I loved this book. It was well written and informative. It's one of those stories that stays in your mind long after you've finished.

Well written interesting account of life at the coalface as a criminal lawyer. Gritty and fascinating. I couldn't put it down.

Incredible read. Book of the yearGripping from start to finish. I couldn't put this book down. Raises so many questions I found myself thinking about the book during reading sessions. The author masterfully pens the book so it feels like a novel and this makes it all the more powerful to realise it is actually a TRUE STORY. I hope all Australians can read this book and hopefully we can start a conversation about how to help these kids.

This book tackles some really big issues that need to be discussed. It's still as relevant now as it was in the 90s when these incidents take place. It's all very complex and heart wrenching. The writing is very easy to read even when the subject matter isn't.
