Brief Summary – Elevator Pitch:

1968, Mexico – 2025 Western Australia.

Free-spirited Tarahumaran-Mexican, Alicia Serrano, loses her mother at birth. As a result, she develops a steely resolve to overcome the challenges she faces when she grows up. Like her older brother Andrés, she’s a gifted athlete. When he’s caught up in the political turmoil engulfing Mexico in 1968 and is shot, she does her best to save his life. A highly qualified linguist, she later travels to Spain and then West Africa, joining a team of Australians kayaking down the Niger River. When disaster strikes, she escapes to Western Australia, where she meets Lennard Currie. He invites her to assist in reviving his dying language, Malgana. She hopes her search for happiness is over at last.
