The maltreatment she received from those charged with caring for her "welfare" will be sadly familiar to other Aboriginal men and women who were denied the love and guidance of their own families because of the policies of separation.

There is pain and sadness in this story but the strongest theme is courage. Courage and resilience and determination...' Source: Long Time Coming Home (2001)
