Synopsis
When Ruby Langford Ginibi was eight years old her father collected his daughters from the Box Ridge mission and drove them to safety, out of reach of the white authorities and the policy of removing Aboriginal children from their families.
Today an established author and Aboriginal activist, she travels back to her home in Bundjalung country, to trace and record the history of her community, her roots. The reader is taken aboard on the journey home, down the backroads of northern New South Wales into the homes and conversations of cousins, aunties and tribal elders. The experience is direct and the feelings shared. Ruby Langford Ginibi writes with the humour, exuberance and unbending truth for which her first book, Don't Take Your Love to Town, is touted.
