'Elsie Roughsey was born into the Lardil tribe on Mornington Island in 1923 soon after the first missionaries arrived. Raided in a dormitory mission and in the traditional life of her tribe, she writes about power, religion, love and marriage, childbirth, medicine, education, crime and punishment across both worlds.'

'This is a book of great charm - and a rare and significant portrait of an Aboriginal life during a period of acute and often traumatic change.' (Source: Back cover)
