Suddenly, Cindie felt she was someone else...She had crossed the river! The very act had made her into a different person. The weight on her heart, the muffling in her ears were gone: all because she had crossed the water and there was no way back. Looking around her at the wide, wild, spinifex-plain of a world, she knew she was not Cynthia Davenport any more. Now she was free to be Cindie Brown! (back cover Fontana 1969)
