Fascinating Book

Those of us stuck in the U.S. with little contact with any other culture than our own will be fascinated by this book. Marilyn Stewart's observations about the differences between the aboriginal way of thinking and the western world's are a goldmine, and because this is her story, you feel as though you know these people and the way they think. I truly felt I had walked a mile in her shoes. While her unconventional style of writing may make the reading a little more difficult than the average fluff, it is well worth the effort. Don't miss this book!
