Marty Dodd, taken from his parents when he was a boy, grew up to be a successful stockman, horse trainer and opal miner. 'From exploitation to independence this is a story of resilience that needed to be told. Marty Dodd's experiences and philosophy make a worthwhile addition to the growing literature of Aboriginal autobiography. As told in his own words, this is a remarkable story.'
