Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges.

Lorraine McGee-Sippel was just a small girl when she asked her parents what a "half-caste" was. It was the 1950s and the first step on a journey that would span decades and lead her to search for her birth family.

In the historical climate of the Rudd Government's Apology, McGee-Sippel aligns herself with the Stolen Generations as she reveals the far-reaching effects of a government policy that saw her adoptive parents being told their daughter was of Afro-American descent.

This is not just a story of displacement but an honest telling that explores the fragility of reconnection, cultural identity, and the triumphs of acceptance. (back cover)

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers, please note that this book may contain descriptions and/or images of people who have passed away.
