My Place

About this book

A moving and quite remarkable account of personal discovery.

In 1982, Sally Morgan travelled back to her grandmother's birthplace. What started as a tentative search for information about her family, turned into an overwhelming emotional and spiritual pilgrimage.

My Place is a moving account of a search for truth into which a whole family is gradually drawn, finally freeing the tongues of the author's mother and grandmother, allowing them to tell their own stories. This autobiographical fiction explores themes of Aboriginal identity, racism, and the importance of family. For readers interested in Australian history and personal journeys.
