A Thousand Summers is a poignant real-life story set in Australia about three homeless young girls who make an incredible two-year trek to the Far North in search of freedom. The book describes not only their journey, but also its aftermath - the effect which the journey has on the girls' future lives.
When Andrew Mackenzie dies unexpectedly, his three young daughters - Roslyn (15), Linnet (14) and Penny (9) - are left orphaned, but not destitute thanks to Andrew's foresight. Dismayed by the plans made for their welfare by local authorities, the girls run away from their hometown in South Australia and embark on a 3000-mile trek to seek help from a family friend in Far North Queensland. The two-year journey, sometimes perilous but often idyllic, nevertheless leaves its mark on the sisters and influences their future lives with devastating effects. The book is based on a series of events which took place in Australia during the 1950s and 1960s.
