Paulette A. reviewed on 5/18/2013 + 64 more book reviews

The 1st of 3 autobiographies covering the life of a notable woman. Covers her growing-up years on Australian sheep farm, move to the city with her "difficult" mother, travels in Europe, college education and her decision to move to the US to continue her education. The book jacket calls it "gripping and inspiring" and I found it to be such. It brings to life the Australian experiences of culture and challenge, and the challenge of being a woman that transends any culture. Was a book group discussion book for me and I am grateful to have found it that way.
