Creating new boundaries for fiction and memoir, this fresh, lively narrative about family, place, identity, and a sense of belonging relates the story of a young Aboriginal woman searching for her roots. Ullagundahi Island is the land where Fabienne's grandmother and grandfather were born, began a family, and separated; it is the land where her tribe, the Bundjalung, still live. It is here, on this island in the middle of the Clarence River in northern NSW, that the author sifts through memories of her beloved grandmother while searching for her family's untold history and Aboriginality.
