Softcover. The long-awaited sequel to the award-winning memoir, 'Is That You, Ruthie?â.After twenty-two years under Government control as an inmate of Cherbourg Aboriginal Mission, Ruth journeys towards freedom by marrying Joe Hegarty and moving to a nearby settlement. However, the settlement -- with its origins as a camp for displaced Aboriginal families, its system of food rations and shortage of housing and jobs -- is a difficult start for the young couple. Humour, a supportive circle of family and friends, and Ruthâs own resourcefulness prevail, and eventually the Hegartys achieve the basics of a house for their growing family.The invasive powers of the Native Affairs Department continue to affect their lives even when, years later, they move to the city. Ruthâs determination and irrepressible sense of fairness characterise a life vigorously committed to social justice and community causes. pp. 246 #0816 Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
