“The incredible and inspiring biography of Sister Ruth Heathcock, MBE, who, throughout her lifetime, has nursed and loved the Aborigines of Arnhem Land in Northern Territories of Australia.  Hazardous journeys and personal danger were daily occurrences in this uncharted and still savage land.
The possessor of remarkable psychic powers, the Aborigines worshipped her almost as a saint so that today she is a legendary figure to the natives and white settlers.”
