The Secret
Lucky-Child
Description
"The best piece of literature I've read in a long time. I could see, hear, feel, taste and smell the story... it stands the reader between the past and the future, the earth below and the heavenly aspect above... The Secret becomes the vehicle for forgiveness, compassion and love." - Laksar Burra Author of "Spirit of the Night Sky" Answering her dying great-grandmother's call, Lucy is lured into the dark red heart of Australia's Great Sandy Desert. Indigenous mother tongues Mangala and Wajarri exquisitely mimic the landscapes and evoke a feeling of timelessness that transports Lucy and the all-female search party into a Dreamtime World, where she learns to respect the Lore, Country and herself. "Like the striking of an ancient gong, I heard my name, Lucy Lucky-Child." "Impressed by the strong writing voice and the beautiful sense of place depicted in Lucky-Child. Lucy's coming-of-age is compelling and infused with emotion. The Secret is an impressive accomplishment and difficult to put down." - Black and Write Australian Publisher
