AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Grace Roberts was a 'stolen' child. This short book tells the story of her life. Grace 'was regarded as a "special woman" , she lived and worked mainly within her own language area, but her presence was felt in far wider circles; the bureacracy of the time both state and federal were very aware of her work and aspirations'. (Source: Grace Roberts: Her Life, Her Mystery, Her Dreaming 198?:4)
Notes
-
Author's note: 'To tell Grace's story, memory has been relied upon, so if some find query with what has been written, it has been told as it has been remembered. Wherever possible factual evidence from records has been sought, but unfortunately in the past, the bureaucracy of the time, found it...convenient to lose their records, particularly those of the children taken by the officers of the... Protection Board.' (page 4)
