From the Back Cover:

''Mutant Message From Forever'' is the moving story of Australian Aboriginal twin babies, Geoff and Beatrice, who are taken from their mother by Christian missionaries. Geoff is sent to a sheep ranch, where he grows up wild, without guidance or affection. At the age of five he is taken to the US by an American minister where he is raised with no sense of who he is and where he comes from. Beatrice is brought up by nuns in an Australian orphanage where for 18 years she encounters continual racism.

As adults the twins follow different paths. Beatrice renounces her Western lifestyle and eventually returns to her aboriginal roots, going on a walkabout. After immersing herself in the culture for several years she becomes a political activist, fighting for the rights of aboriginal people. By chance this brings her back into contact with her brother Geoff, who has fallen into crime and drug addiction. Their meeting enables Beatrice to pass on to him the message she has learnt, a message of ageless value and spiritual wisdom from the heart of the aboriginal tradition that is their heritage.

This is a compelling follow-up to Marlo Morgan's international bestseller 'Mutant Message Down Under'.
