The Quilt Approach: A Tasmanian Patchwork

What happens when you go back to a place you visited forty-six years ago? Tasmania. Do the ghosts rise up, or has the past all been erased? What if you now knew that some of your ancestors had lived there? Convicts. And another branch of your family settled there and came to prominence? Colonialists.
It might start to look like a patchwork instead of a simple story. And then the patches might be stitched together and make a quilt. Thirty-two stories stitched together with meaning. The quilt approach.
