A painful, often angry autobiography by an Australian Aboriginal woman from the Lost Generation, who was taken as an infant from her family.
Doris Kartinyeri has taken for the title of her book Kick the Can, a game she often played with the children at the orphanage where she was raised. Like the tin can of their game, she has been kicked around by others who had little real interest in her. When her mother died because of complications from her birth, she was taken away from her family to be raised in an orphanage. None of her family’s efforts brought her back to them. On their rare visits to see her, they seemed like strangers.
