This biography is based entirely on the spoken word of Ruby Paul, a remarkable woman who lived her entire life in Tasmania's isolated west and north-west regions.

The nearly thirty hours of tape-recorded sessions with Ruby, augmented by interviews with her daughters, deliver the story of the lives of Ruby and her family, primarily during the period of 1893 to the 1950s.
