Too afraid to cry : memoir of a stolen childhood

Cobby Eckermann, Ali, 1963-2018
Book
Eckermann describes the devastating effects of racist policies that tore apart Indigenous Australian communities and created the Stolen Generation. Told at first through the eyes of a child whose life was irretrievably changed after being "adopted" into a German Lutheran family, it tells a personal story of abuse and trauma. After years of suffering as a dark-skinned "outsider," Eckermann reveals her courageous efforts to reconcile with her birth family and find acceptance within their Indigenous community.
