In one story, a group of girls plot their escape from a home they have no memory of entering. In another, two men make a final visit to the country they love as they contemplate a new life in a faraway place. Saunders imagines different scenarios for how the local Goori community might reassert sovereignty - reclaiming country, exerting full self-determination, or incorporating non-Indigenous people into the social fabric - while practising creative, ancestrally approved ways of living with changing climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEpic in scope, and with a diverse cast of characters, \u003cem\u003eAlways Will Be\u003c\/em\u003e is the groundbreaking winner of the 2022 David Unaipon Award. This is a forward-thinking collection that refuses cynicism and despair, and instead offers entertaining stories that celebrate Goori ways of being, knowing, doing - and becoming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46670088044780,"sku":"9780702266386","price":36.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/307843482438.jpg?v=1752758935","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/always-will-be-by-mykaela-saunders-9780702266386","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
