AustLit

'When Kate Mathieson wakes feverishly one night and looks at the life she has created – business suits, a nine-to-five career – she feels an inner emptiness that no money or possession can fulfill. On a fast track toward marriage, children, a mortgage, she is disappearing. She is becoming invisible.

'Another life calls her – a life of truth, authenticity, rawness and vulnerability. She is a bird, not a tree, with wings meant for flying.

'Kate leaves Australia and begins an elemental journey across Africa, under skies and stars, through forests and deserts. Weaving a personal tale of soul discovery and adventure, she reflects on the lives we mark for ourselves.'
