Excellent Author!

I'm not normaly a reader, but after seeing "Rabbit Proof Fence", I read Doris Pilkington's "Under The Wintamarra Tree". It's an auto-biography that tells about her horrible life due to the prejudice of the Australian government, the 'stolen generation'. I'm a grown man, but I cried throught the entire book. It is a MUST READ. You won't learn about this history in any school! One of the critics quoted in the book, Juliette Hughs, Eureka Street, says... "This book is almost unbearable to read, and yet is still compulsive. Doris Pilkington is a writer of many skills, and here uses them to tell the extraordinary story of her mother.- (Molly)". If anyone knows Doris Pilkington's email address, Please let me know! I want to thank her for her 4 extraordinary books. Daniel Adkins [email protected]
