Synopsis:

One women's journey from a childhood in Australia's outback to adulthood as a successful American career woman. The Road From Coorain is about Everywoman, for it is about childhood loneliness, anguished parent-child relationships, dawning sensibility, discovering a vocation, and finding one's own sense of self.


Review:

"[A] compelling story....[M]eticulously narrated and closely observed....Conway seems to have a photographic memory -- of her growing up during World War II on a dust-blown sheep farm in New South Wales, Australia."

Charlotte Allen, Washington Post Book World, 10/28/2001
