After writing my first book, Dominant Female, I often thought of one character who seemed to have a separate story she wanted to tell. She was abandoned as a baby and grew up in an orphanage, but after some trouble she ran away. She was subjected to abuse from her partner who was knifed and died in prison, but for reasons she was never able to understand, she was befriended by a woman who eventually became her best friend, and her life improved as her children grew up. Unbeknown to her, her mother had always worried where her daughter was, and if she ever thought of her, and what she may have been told about her. Her mother then began to speak out. She became an advocate for the stolen generations movement, and during a television program she spoke for the first time about her lost child.
