To escape her crumbling life in New York City, Donna Cooper accepts a position as a rural doctor in Queensland, Australia. It isn’t long before she meets Jimmy Jackboy, a stranded aboriginal teen who is unable to complete his initiation into manhood. But what appears to be an accidental encounter may have in fact been orchestrated by the Galah parrot spirit, Jimmy’s ancestral totem. Soon, Donna and Jimmy become tied by bonds of circumstance, changing both of their lives forever. Waltzing Jimmy Jackboy guides the reader on a journey of self-discovery, where faith, family and reality are shaped by the untamed Australian landscape. Winner Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Colorado Gold Award.
