Book Description

Ruby Langford Ginibi's bestselling first book, Don't Take Your Love to Town, is now a seminal work of Indigenous memoirs.

Born at Box Ridge Mission, Coraki, in the 1930s, Ruby's story is one of courage in the face of poverty and tragedy. She is a remarkable woman whose sense of humour has endured through all the hardships she has experienced.

She writes about the changing ways of life in Aboriginal communities - rural and urban; the disintegration of traditional lifestyles, and the sustaining energy that has come from the renewal of Aboriginal culture in recent years. (publisher blurb)
