Through Silent Country

Carolyn Wadley Dowley 

On the whim of the government authorities, nineteen Wongutha people were exiled away from their Country and their people. They were seemingly powerless. They were locked up, trucked off, given inmate numbers in a government compound -- their fate was sealed. And then they escaped. They escaped and walked home to their Country. The stories of the Wongutha people, and careful archival research, have enabled Carolyn to traverse the historical silence and piece together a story of injustice, survival and triumph.

With Jo away in New York to pursue her literary ambitions, Meg, Beth, and Amy follow their own paths.
