Summary
  • A young Darug girl is sent to the Parramatta Native School after white settlers begin to arrive and claim the continent for the British Empire and flees, searching for a safe place in an increasingly unfamiliar world
  • Muraging's people, the Darug, have lived on the land between the river and the sea since time immemorial. Then in the early years of the nineteenth century White settlers begin to arrive, laying claim to the continent for the British empire. At ten years old Muraging is given over to the Parramatta Native School by her father. The missionaries call her Mary James, force her to abandon her culture and language, and teach her subjects they believe will save her soul: English, Christianity, and housework. Six years later, seeking a brighter future, Muraging flees the school, embarking on a journey of discovery and a search for a safe place in an unfamiliar and unsteady new world. -- adapted from jacket
