Jack Donovan is too tough to cry. And life isn't kind to him.
So begin the trials and tribulations Jack endures as a disillusioned 11 year old until he reaches his manhood at 19.
He is a boy left alone to fend for himself in outback Western Queensland, Australia. It is set in the 1960's, during a time of great cultural change.
A world, where the hardness of the land, dictates the hardness of the people who live there. It teaches Jack valuable life lessons, as he learns to fend for himself in a harsh world. It teaches Jack to be too tough to cry.
Jack learns about love and mateship. Jack is a man's man, who can ride anything with fur and can fight like a bag of mad cats.
Through it all, Jack keeps his sense of humour, as he approaches life the only way he knows how - head on.
