Publishers Description: Frank and funny, this memoir vividly recounts the first 17 years of the authors life in Sydneys slums and in New South Wales countryside. Abandoned by her mother as a baby and by her volatile grandmother as a young girl, Kate Howarth was shunted between Aboriginal relatives and expected to grow up fast. It was a childhood beset by hardship, abuse, profound grief, and poverty, but buoyed with the hope that one day she would make a better life for herself and her child. Incredibly moving, this is the compelling true story of a childhood lost and a young womans hard-won self-possession.
