Following her modern classic, and worldwide bestseller, Mutant Message Down Under, Marlo Morgan returns with a tale of self-enlightenment, about aboriginal twins, separated at birth, and the search for roots that causes them to reunite from halfway around the world.

Message From Forever follows the lives of Australian aboriginal twins who were taken from their young mother by Christian missionaries. The boy, Geoff, is adopted by an American minister and is raised in New England with little sense of who he is or of his cultural heritage. His sister is only given the first name Beatrice by the nuns at the Australian orphanage, where she encounters continual racism, and experiences shattering losses for the first eighteen years of her life.

Upon reaching adulthood, Beatrice, hungering to know more about her ancestral roots, walks away from her life in the city to strike out into the northern desert nation, where she goes on a walkabout with a small band of Aborigines. Geoff does not fare so well in “runner between both worlds,” and returns to the Mutant world to work as a political activist fighting for aboriginal rights. Her life's work brings her into contact with her lost brother, though neither is aware of their relationship.

Beatrice gives Geoff the Message From Forever that outlines aboriginal philosophy and principles of good living. As we hear the message with Geoff, we are challenged to stretch our concepts of identity, spirituality, and environmental involvement. This moving story in which the power of purity, acceptance, and openness transcends injustice and degradation directs us to live our lives in accordance with ageless values and simple wisdom.
