A beautiful Aboriginal woman stands out amongst the Japanese tourists. It is obvious to Jo that this woman is a lesbian.

When it is unveiled, Jo accompanies her on a journey through the Outback. Through Donna’s eyes and heart, the reader learns of the Dreamtime and the connectiveness of Aboriginals to the earth. It is a warm and touching love story that reveals the lives of two women from different cultures. Jo is a runaway kid who survives in the wild west town of Cober Pedy before she finds a home on an Outback cattle ranch. Donna escapes a dysfunctional family to become a teacher.

Donna requests that Jo travels outside of Australia as a way to examine and enrich her life. The setting for this story is the magnificence of the Outback and its incredible birds and animals. I fell in love with the Outback and I am sure my readers will too.
