Kick the Tin by Doris Kartinyeri
2.0
A very basic account of a horrible time in Australian history.
There seems to be a lot of books covering individual accounts of the "Stolen Generations" and unfortunately a lot of them aren't very well written. I understand completely why that's the case with these personal accounts but I struggle to take anything from them. If you are already aware of what went on in these cases there's nothing new to be gained from reading books like this. If you're not aware they're probably a good starting point.
