Description
Melbourne. One family. One fracture that cannot be undone.
When a violent act shatters the fragile balance between two worlds, the Ibraham family is forced into the spotlight – where loyalty, belief, and truth collide. Mia believes in the law. Demi believes in family. Bakir believes the world has already judged him.
As tensions escalate and consequences unfold, each must confront a question with no easy answer: What do you hold onto when everything begins to break? Burning on Australian Soil is a powerful and deeply moving novel about identity, belonging, faith, and the fragile space between cultures in contemporary Australia.
Dominic Fotia migrated to Australia from southern Italy as a child and grew up in a rural community shaped by migrant experience, cultural transition, and the pressures of belonging. He later completed a Diploma in English Literature at Deakin University and has spent over four decades running a successful jewellery business in regional Victoria.
“I understand what migrants go through, from the moment they set foot on Australian soil, to getting out in the community, the workforce, and everything that’s involved along the way,” said Dominic Fotia.
