When You See the Emu in the Sky by Elizabeth Fuller

When You See the Emu in the Sky: My Journey of Self-Discovery in the Outback by Elizabeth Fuller

Reeling from unimaginable personal loss and searching for a path out of darkness, Elizabeth Fuller makes a courageous leap of faith, taking her young son halfway across the world to the vast, ancient heart of the Australian Outback. Her profoundly moving memoir, When You See the Emu in the Sky, chronicles this life-altering journey into both a remote landscape and the terrain of her own grief. Arriving in the small Aboriginal community of Enngonia, Fuller finds an unexpected guide in Max Eulo, a wise elder who gently begins to lead her—and through her experiences, the reader—into the timeless spiritual wisdom of his people. Follow Fuller as she learns to read the subtle signs of the earth, listens to the deep resonance of ancient stories (like that of the celestial Emu), confronts her sorrow, and slowly, under the immense, star-filled sky, begins to forge a profound connection to the land, her son, and a renewed sense of inner peace and purpose.
