This story is set in Skyler's imagination as he reflects on his identity and explores the heritage of his parents. Skyler, the narrator, is a spunky and sensitive soul-surfer. He voyages into the depths of his mind, assembling the pieces of his cultural jigsaw through musical rhymes and colourful imagery. Imani, his mother, is a charming character full of wisdom. She enjoys yoga and clay modelling. She has a 'zen' personality. Travis, his father, is an adventurous spirit. He enjoys rock climbing, wake boarding and paragliding. Their yin and yang natures balance each other well and Skyler has elements of both. This is his story.

Among the key themes addressed are contemporary debates on the ownership of mineral resources and on the colonial state's responsibility to promote and control mining development and the wealth it generated.
