Message from Forever

The author of the bestselling 'Mutant Message Downunder' conjures up a tale of self-enlightenment about two aboriginal twins, separated at birth and the search for their roots that cause them to reunite from halfway across the world.


In Mutant Message Downunder, Marlo Morgan entranced readers with the story of a woman's unexpected four-month walkabout through the Australian outback with a tribe of aboriginals.


In her new novel, Morgan unveils more aboriginal worldview through the story of aboriginal twins who grow up apart. A boy is adopted by an American family and raised in the US with little sense of who he really is or of his cultural heritage. His sister is sent to an orphanage in Australia where she learns nothing of abriginal culture and encounters continual racism. After a series of shattering losses, she strikes out into the desert, the land of her ancestors, where she discovers the spiritual truths that have been missing in her life. Becoming a 'runner between the worlds', she begins working as a political activist.


Her work brings her into contact with her brother, but at first neither is aware of their true relationship to each other. The twins grow and change as they share their experiences with one another. Their journey teaches invaluable lessons about the quest for enlightenment and identity.
