To draw a potential reader to the book, marketing types have included the words on the book's cover, "A Woman's Solo Trek Across 1,700 Miles of Australian Outback".
After an apprenticeship learning all about camels near Alice Springs, the author sets out west across the deserts of Australia with her dog and four camels. Braving the elements and loving every minute of it, Davidson also meets, befriends and establishes a sincere empathy for the aboriginal peoples. Like many a travel adventure book, this courageous journey leading camels across the Australian desert also brings the author to a deeper self understanding.
