WEST AUSTRALIANA ABORIGINAL
An autobiographical account of an Australian aborigine, brought up in an orphanage and sent to work in a rich white family’s house where she is treated virtually like a slave.
The heartbreak and the humour of a young woman’s fight for freedom and identity in a truly puzzling world – straight from a sheltered mission existence to work at sixteen on a bizarre Australian farm in the 1960s.
