'The Drover's Daughter' is the true story of Deanna 'Dee' Dunham, a girl from a dusty backward town in rural New South Wales, who escaped her harsh and violent childhood only to be swept off her feet by an English playboy who later became a Mormon bishop. Always outspoken and rebellious, Dee gives vivid descriptions of her life as a Mormon wife who was constantly getting in trouble with church leaders. The mother of three children, Dee's life changed forever when her husband got sick and eventually she escaped to the safe haven of a farm in the Australian Sunshine Coast Hinterland where she became a champion goat-breeder and cheesemaker. Dee's extraordinary story includes her moving account of her sister Carol, a schizophrenic who became a prostitute to fund her drug habit and was murdered with her baby daughter and husband in a triple homicide in Sydney in the 1960s. Dee also describes her journeys to Nepal in her 70s to distribute funds she had raised from her hospital bed after the earthquake there. Full of self-deprecation, humour and compassion, 'The Drover's Daughter' will appeal to anyone who is interested in true life stories.
