"The true life story of Thomas Corbett, a half-caste Aboriginal man who witnessed first hand the harsh conditions of Aboriginal children and adults dispossessed and incarcerated by the Aboriginal Protection Board at the infamous Moore River Settlement. The story, written by Thomas's daughter Rosemary, gives the reader a glimpse into the history of generations of Aboriginal people who withstood the worst of institutional racism. It is humorous, gritty and recalled without sentimentality."
