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.
