I felt Aboriginal because Mum had made me proud to be, told me I got magic and courage from Gundyarri, the spirit man. It was then I felt Aboriginal, I felt like I belonged, but when Mum left, I stopped being Aboriginal. I stopped feeling like I belonged. Anywhere.

I think this book is nice. The was a bit superfluous, but I really liked the message. I just think it wasn’t in the right headspace to really absorb it all.
