General Note "A story about the power of love." -- Linda Burney, MP, Sydney Morning Herald Spectrum, 17- 18 July 2021.
Collection code: W - Women.
Summary Note "From a victim of the Stolen Generations comes a remarkable memoir of abuse, survival - and ultimately hope. Born in country NSW in the 1940s, baby Dianne is immediately taken from her Aboriginal mother … At the age of thirty-six, while raising six kids on her own, Dianne discovers she is a Yorta Yorta woman, a daughter of the river country. She is reunited with her birth mother … Miraculously she finds a way to forgive her traumatic past and becomes a leader in her own right, vowing to help other stolen people just like her." - Back cover.
