Lucky Country

by Lisa Evans

Set in Australia, this is a story of two stolen Aboriginal children (children of the ‘lucky country’), the theft of their land, and of their culture. Despite being separated from her people, her land, and, most devastatingly, her mother, Kiah learns to navigate the strange new world she is taken to. Through adversity Kia manages to save her friend Leila and find her mother.
