Daisy in the Dreamtime is the true story of Daisy Bates, an Irish woman who abandoned her family and the comforts of Victorian society, pitched a tent in the Australian outback, and spent her life fighting to preserve the Aboriginal culture — where people live free of the two great obsessions of modern civilization: the pressure of time and the accumulation of goods. Daisy in the Dreamtime is a compelling story of surprising friendship, crushing loss, and tectonic change, told with lightness, humor and humility. A hauntingly beautiful account of what happens when a woman elects to leave one world and enter another – the dreamtime.
