Only managed to get half way but really enjoyed what I got through. Would have loved to hear these stories told in person, as I think something was lost when on reading them off the page.

Autobiography of an Indigenous woman who was taken from her family & country as a teenager and 'cared for' (i.e. exploited) by the Aborigines Department. She lived a life full of hard work and undeserved prejudice with grace & strength. Simply told but surprisingly engaging.
