Description
We all have an Origin story.
On June 8, 2022, in a Vancouver townhouse, Darren Groth gathers with his family to watch State of Origin - uncertain of the result, unsure when they'll meet again, and fearing this may be the last Maroons game with his ailing father.
Marooned is a moving, funny, and deeply heartfelt memoir of fathers and sons, love of team, and love of state. Spanning five decades of Queensland rugby league devotion - from dusty backyards in Hughenden to frosty mornings in Canada - it's a story about belonging, resilience, and the ties that bind us across distance, hardship, and time.
