Synopsis

LOST IN THE DREAMTIME In the outback of modern-day Australia, there lies an almost forgotten land. It is a land as distant from our own as the surface of the moon -- and as alien. Here, Raba, a young Aborigine girl first enters the magical realm of the Dreamtime and learns something of its awesome power. But when she is "rescued" by a well-meaning missionary, Raba finds herself caught between two worlds -- with disastrous results. Now she must return to the Dreamtime to appease the wrath of the Ancestors and learn their deepest secrets -- secrets that can save both her and her tribe. Vibrant, rich, and endlessly fascinating, Michaela Roessner's Walkabout Woman is a spellbinding novel of an old world full of new ideas -- and real magic.
