The Story of Danny Dunn

In the 1930s few opportunities exist for working class boys in Balmain, Sydney, but at 16 Danny Dunn has everything going for him: brains, looks, sporting aptitude - and luck with the ladies. His parents run The Hero, a neighbourhood pub, and Danny is a local hero. But Danny's luck changes when he signs up for the AIF. He returns a broken man, embittered and disfigured by war. Together with his wife, Helen, he sets about rebuilding a life - a life of compassion and corruption, love and power. And a life blessed by two beautiful daughters, Sam and Gabby. While they are identical twins, they chase two very different dreams.
