She grows up in a small village in the outback and learns the ways of both cultures.As a young woman, Mary falls in love with a white man named Robert Barton, but their love is forbidden by both their families. Robert is engaged to another woman, and Mary's father disapproves of their relationship because of Robert's race. Mary is heartbroken and decides to leave the village and start a new life.She travels to the coast and meets a group of seal hunters who take her in and teach her their ways. Mary becomes a skilled hunter and earns the respect of the men. She also meets a young man named Tom, who becomes her friend and confidante.As Mary's skills as a hunter grow, she becomes more confident and independent. She also learns more about herself and her heritage. However, her past catches up with her when Robert comes looking for her. He is still in love with her and wants to marry her, but Mary is torn between her love for him and her newfound independence.The Sealskin Cloak is a story of love, independence, and cultural identity.
