This is the biography of Connie Ellement who overcame trauma and neglect to be placed in a Perth orphanage run by the Salvation Army. When she was old enough, her mother took her out of institutional care so that Connie could take care of the household while her mother worked for one of the local Fremantle bookies. Connie's story is both heartbreaking and uplifting.
