One Choice Too Far - A Search for Identity
How much do we really know about who we are?
Ric is a cocky and confident young doctor in a Brisbane hospital Emergency Department. He's already kicked a lot of goals. He has a successful medical career; he plays elite level football; and he has an amazing girlfriend.
However, he does have one small problem.
He doesn't know who he is.
And there's another thing.
Why are weird thoughts and images invading his mind?
When he almost kills someone, Ric decides to sort himself out. His search for answers takes him home to North Queensland. Is he the son of an Italian immigrant family? Or are those disturbing images hinting at a vastly different ancestry?
Each time he discovers new information, further questions arise, and further roadblocks confront him. When he confirms his suspicion that he is adopted, he discovers disturbing secrets involving historical adoption processes, cross-cultural conflict and family shame. His perceptions about himself are challenged
Rod Davison is a retired doctor who has pondered these questions throughout his working life, much of which has been with First Nations health services.
This novel may be of interest to readers of Lucy Treloar's Salt Creek, Kate Grenville's The Secret River, Andrew McGahan's The White Earth, Kelly Rimmer's The Secret Daughter, or Melissa Lucashenko's Edenglassie.
