Lorraine Mcgee-Sippel

In order to make sense of my life, and the trauma of being taken from my Aboriginal mother at birth, I needed to write my story. Hey Mum, What's a Half- Caste? And after the writing, publication, and launch of the book I was still learning things I would have liked to have known before. Such as, my white grandfather who signed my adoption papers wasn't my grandfather at all. I dedicate this story to my mother, Hazel (1925-1994), who never recovered from losing me.
