Hilary's journey as a child migrant who was sent to a Fairbridge institution in Rhodesia by irresponsible parents and a social system that allowed the inhumane dispatch of thousands of children into the colonies to fend for themselves. This is Hilary's story of how that abandonment impacted her life from 7 to 70 years old, as she goes from being an angry and disillusioned child to a secure, older adult, content in the person that she became. At times her journey is bewildering, frustrating, and agonisingly lonely, but through it all a determinedly independent person emerges
