The Dreaming Series is a chronicle of the challenges faced by three generations of Indigenous Australians and Non-Indigenous Australians living in Wiradjuri country New South Wales from the 1950s to the early 2000s. This exclusive 10th-anniversary edition consists of the three books of the series: Deep Water Tears, Grace and Barons Reach, and the quests of Rachel, Grace and Libby to find love, identity and peace, guided by the Wiradjuri teachings of Grandmother Mary.
Deep Water Tears: The story of how Non-Indigenous Australian, Rachel Winton, discovers that her greatest loss becomes the key to finding her greatest joy. Empowered from childhood with the secret teachings of Mary Rutherford, the Wiradjuri mother of her best friend, Darel, Rachel learns to question everything and follow her heart. Rachel is taken on a journey of self-discovery, but also one that unveils the truth about Australia's recent history, and the heart-breaking consequences that the stolen generation had on those she loves.
Grace: The story of how Indigenous Australian, Grace Taylor, rises above the confusion, loneliness, and despair from being taken at birth from her Wiradjuri mother, Mary Rutherford, to become the leader of a reconciliatory community. After Grace finds her mother, she struggles to come to terms with her Wiradjuri heritage, especially when she falls in love with Dan, a non-Indigenous man, amidst societal discrimination determined to keep them apart. Grace's journey is one of redemption and personal transformation.
Barons Reach: The story of how Indigenous Australian, Libby Rutherford, overcomes grief, betrayal and the refusal to return to the place where a childhood tragedy occurred by honouring her grandmother, Mary Rutherford, in her final days. In returning to face the ghosts of her past, Libby discovers that she was not alone in her suffering and that her childhood relationship with Jimba was an integral part of her destiny to ensure there would be storytellers to teach the Wiradjuri dreamtime stories to future generations.
Although primarily a work of fiction, The Dreaming Series contains Wiradjuri Dreamtime stories and words, gratefully authenticated and approved for publication by Wiradjuri elder, Stan Grant Snr. Included at the end is non-fiction historical content about the Wiradjuri people and their culture, Aboriginal resistance leader, Windradyne, the transcript of the Australian Prime Minister's 2008 Apology To Australian Indigenous Peoples and a bibliography.
