Shattered by family tragedy in the early 1960s, an upper-middle-class Southern teenager finds solace in art and literature. Decades later, she is called to the continent whose literature comforted her, and to a magical connection with an Aboriginal woman transcending race and half a world.
A true story of a deep journey, Unconventional Means: The Dream Down Under contains Aboriginal traditional stories as told by Lorraine Mafi-Williams and original artwork by Anne Richardson Williams. The Pearlsong Press edition of Unconventional Means is revised & updated from the 2000 In Circle Press edition.
The essence of Unconventional Means is captured by its front cover, on which Ayers Rock, Australia’s most famous natural landmark, is superimposed on a middle Tennessee landscape like a portal from Music City to the Land Down Under. It’s a surrealistic image befitting the true story of a woman whose dreams, visions, meditation and intuition drew her halfway around the world and across a continent to find the Aboriginal woman whose ancient stories of a land and its people would help heal her.
