Eine unübersehbare First Nations Memoir, die von der erschütternden Erfahrung des Diebstahls erzählt, ist "The Last Daughter" eine Geschichte von Herzschmerz und Heilung, die allen Australiern einen Weg nach vorne bietet.
Als Brenda Matthews zwei Jahre alt war, wurden sie und ihre Geschwister von ihren Eltern genommen. In den nächsten fünf Jahren war sie eine beliebte Tochter in einer weißen Familie, ein glückliches Kind in einer ländlichen Stadt am Stadtrand von Sydney, ohne sich der Existenz ihrer Aborigine-Familie bewusst zu sein oder wie hart ihre Eltern für ihre Rückkehr kämpften, ohne sich ihrer Identität der Aborigines bewusst zu sein.
Dann wurde sie plötzlich zu ihrer Aborigine-Familie zurückgebracht, der letzten Tochter, die nach Hause kam.
Jahrzehnte später spürt Brenda das Gefühl, dass etwas in ihrem Leben fehlt, nach ihrer Pflegefamilie und ihrer geliebten weißen Schwester, mit der sie keinen Kontakt hatte.
Auf dem Weg enthüllt sie lang vergrabene Geheimnisse und staatliche Bungling sowie eine tiefe Verbindung zur Familie und zu ihrer Aborigine-Kultur.
The Last Daughter ist die Geschichte von Brendas Reise, um die Wahrheit über ihre Vergangenheit zu entdecken, ihre beiden Familien zu vereinen und eine bessere Verbindung zwischen schwarz-weißem Australien zu fördern. Es ist eine Geschichte voller Herzschmerz, Liebe, Hoffnung und Heilung, die allen Australiern einen Weg nach vorne zeigt.

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. When Brenda Matthews was two years old, she and her siblings were taken from their parents. For the next five years she was a much-loved daughter in a white family, a happy child in a country town on the outskirts of Sydney, unaware of the existence of her Aboriginal family or how hard her parents were fighting for her return-unaware of her Aboriginal identity. Then, she was suddenly returned to her Aboriginal family, the last daughter to come home. Decades later, feeling a sense of something missing in her life, Brenda searches for her foster family and her beloved white sister, with whom she had had no contact. Along the way she uncovers long-buried secrets and government bungling, as well as a deep connection to family and to her Aboriginal culture. The Last Daughter is the story of Brenda's journey to discover the truth about her past, to unite her two families-and to foster a better connection between black and white Australia. It's a story full of heartbreak, love, hope and healing, one that shows a way forward for all Australians. 'I share this story out of love and forgiveness.' Brenda Matthews Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781922790170
