Knowing that he will soon die, Albert 'Poppy' Gondiwindi takes pen to paper, determined to pass on the language of his people and everything that was ever remembered. He finds the words on the wind.

August Gondiwindi returns home for her grandfather's burial, wracked with grief and burdened with all she tried to leave behind. Determined to make amends, she endeavours to save their land - a quest that leads her to the voice of her grandfather and into the past, the stories of her people, the secrets of the river.

The Yield is the story of a people and a culture dispossessed. But it is as much a celebration of what was and what endures, and a powerful reclaiming of Indigenous language, storytelling and identity.
