In Mutant Message Down Under, Marlo Morgan entranced readers with the story of a woman's unexpected four-month walkabout through the Australian outback with a tribe of nomadic aboriginals. The dramatic personal transformation she relates and the life-enhancing message from the 50,000-year-old aboriginal culture affected and inspired readers around the world.
In her new novel, Morgan unveils more aboriginal worldview through the story of aboriginal twins who grow up apart. A boy is adopted by an American family and raised in the United States with little sense of who he really is or of his cultural heritage. His sister is sent to an orphanage in Australia where she learns nothing of aboriginal culture and encounters continual racism.
