Listening to Country

"The moving and personal story of one woman's journey into the remote and rugged Tanami Desert with matriarchs of her husband's family. In May 2006, she had the chance to spend time in the Tanami Desert in northern central Australia with 200 Aboriginal women, performing women's law ceremonies."
"The author is a white woman married to an Aboriginal man. Over the course of many visits to her husband's family, she was fascinated to discover that the older tribal women had a deep sense of happiness and purpose that transcended the abject material poverty, illness and increasing violence of their community - a happiness that she feels is related to an essential 'warmth of heart' that these women say has gone missing in today's world. In 2006, she had the chance to spend time in the Tanami Desert in northern central Australia performing women's Law ceremonies. This book is the story of that trip and her friendship with these women, as she tells their stories and passes on their wisdom and understanding."
