'Is that you...?' Matron's voice would ring out across the dormitory. In that pause 60 little girls would stop in their tracks, waiting to hear who was in trouble. All too often the name called out would be that of the high-spirited dormitory girl Ruthie.
In the Depression years, Queensland's notorious Cherbourg Aboriginal Mission became home to four-year-old Ruth Hegarty until her late teens when she was sent out to serve as a domestic on a station homestead. Ruthie is the central character in this lively and candid memoir of institutional life. Her milestones and memories reflect the experiences of many dormitory girls. The strong and lasting bonds that developed between them all helped to compensate for the family love and support denied them by the Australian government's disruptive removal policy.
