Unfinished Woman: A Memoir
by Robyn Davidson
Embarking on a journey into the uncharted territory of her past, Davidson, world-famous for crossing 1,700 miles of Australian desert in 1977, presents the story of a mother and daughter's despair and survival, and their unbreakable bond with a landscape that would define, scar and heal them.
