I loved this book when I read it way back when. It really brought the reader away from the world of cell phones and television and soccer practices to a whole other kind of world - a place that urbanites would never be able to appreciate.

I do not like her style of writing. I liked what she wrote about. This book is Free To Good Home if anyone wants it. I've gotten everything out of it I'm going to.

Gotta admit..if a friend did not gift me this book I NEVER would of picked it out myself. Mostly because the title and cover art just don't speak to me. That said, once I read the description of this book and then gave it the chance it highly deserves I can't say enough about it. Very interesting read if you are at all concerned about the future for the earth & all that inhabit it.

I’m very conflicted about this book, but the summarized version is, while there are definitely good things to take away from this story, it’s insanely problematic in its descriptions and stories of Australian aboriginals and it reeks of white saviorism.

Though it never received much press, Morgan admitted her book is a fraudulent work of fiction. Of course, it took a group of Aborigines getting a grant to fly to the US and confront her before she would admit she made the whole thing up.
Hint: Your first clue should have been her claim that Australians had no idea what window screens were before she introduced them to the country.
Hint 2: Rotten menstrual blood on an open wound is a way to cause sepsis and death, not cure compound fractures.
Morgan gets one thing right, though: there is something deeply wrong with Americans. She just misdiagnosis what it is. Some of us are dumb enough to believe this book is true.

Struggled to find the point halfway through the book. Wasn’t impressed with the writing which jumped around a bit.
