description: Joseph and Harriet Blackstone, along with Joseph's mother Lilian, emigrate from Norfolk in search of new beginnings and prosperity. But the harsh land near Christchurch where they settle threatens to destroy them almost before they begin. When Joseph finds gold in the creek, he guiltily hides the discovery from his wife and mother. However, this taste of possible riches to come begins a rapturous obsession with the colour.
