Despite the trauma of domestic violence and moments of sheer despair when suicide seemed to be the only option, Mel somehow found the strength to carry on.In discovering spirituality, Mel finally found her place in life. And by combining her spirituality with her Aboriginality she began to understand she was part of something much bigger. Mel Brown is an Australian Aboriginal Ngunnawal woman - this is her story.
