It is set against the background of the inland loved by Flynn, and includes the struggle of an Aboriginal tribe in having the Marble removed from the grave and returned to its original position. The book is set in its historical and geographic context and brings out the value of Flynn's work to the present generation, depicting the importance of the man in life and death. Maisie McKenzie and her husband Doug lived in the Northern Territory for nine years, residing in both Alice Springs and Darwin. In that time they saw, at first hand, the outcome of John Flynn's work in outback Australia, and the love and respect the inland people had for him. They also had close contact with Aboriginal people as diverse as the Pitjantjatjara in the south, and the Arnhem Land tribes in the north. They consider the relationships they had, both with Flynn's work through the Australian Inland Mission, and the Aboriginal people, to be a unique and deeply enriching life experience.
