The fear
of the unknown sends Taconi’s mind into the darkest corners of his imagination.
Will his ever changing life continue to spiral out of control? Finding his one
true place while saddling the life as an aboriginal in the Australian outback
and then as a Jackaroo in the white man’s world is a constant struggle. With
the anticipation of his man ceremony, Taconi fights his inner thoughts to be
worthy of his aboriginal customs; all the while, striving to understand his
father’s need to become the head cook on the Coorparoo Cattle Station.
The
fight for balance becomes quite confusing for young Taconi in his determination
not to forget his heritage and accepting the need to live in the white man’s
world. Along the way he finds comfort and direction in an unlikely companion, the
outspoken Claude the cockatoo. This unlikely and heartwarming friendship is
wise beyond their years and will have the reader cheering for Taconi’s one true
quest, acceptance. Will Taconi be able to weave customs from both worlds into a
comfortable fit?
