Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Pencil imprint on front author biography page , otherwise interior is very good.

John Moriarty's search for his place in the world has taken him from "Saltwater people" on the Gulf of Carpentaria to heading an internationally acclaimed Aboriginal design company.

Stolen from his family at four years of age, John was placed in a children's home, where he struggled with harsh routines and poverty. A love of sport illuminates young John's life, leading him to a career as a promising soccer player.

Then, fired by the injustices around him, he heads to the corridors of political power to fight for Aboriginal rights before beginning the company that would put the stirringly beautiful Wunala Dreaming Qantas jet in the sky.

Along the way, John sets out to find his Aboriginal and Irish families - uncovering some amazing connections. (back cover)
