The Burnt Stick - A great read based on a true story
When John Jagamarra was five, he was taken away from his mother and home because he was half white and the law said he had to be educated in a mission school to learn the ways of white people. But John never forgot his real home - or his mother, who dared to trick the men from the welfare department by darkening him with a burnt stick to hide his light skin. A poignant tale of painful separation, love, and memory. Written by Anthony Hill.
