Sister Heart by Sally Morgan published by Fremantle Press
Sister Heart is a heart-wrenching story of the stolen generation. Told through beautifully written verse, Annie’s story is one of confusion, loss and fear. Annie is literally abducted while her mother is away from the mission, thrown onto a boat and told she must be grateful for the opportunity. As a child, she doesn’t know where her home is, let alone where she is taken or how to get back to her family. We know now that children like Annie very rarely ever found their families again and this makes the story all the more sad. However, though the tears there is laughter as the girls form a strong bond and help each other through their daily struggles, of which there are many.
