Tony Birch weaves a heartbreaking yet hopeful story of an aboriginal woman who refuses to let the government destroy the little family she has left. Bitingly humorous, grandmother Odette Brown is a force, but not so armored that a reader cannot glimpse the most vulnerable parts of herself. I worried for Odette and her granddaughter, Sissy, unsure if the next page might cause my heart to ache or warm. At times fairytale-esque in its presentations of good and evil, of love and hate, I found myself flying through the story until I reached its satisfying conclusion.

Hello Amerie & fellow readers. I appreciate this spotlight on Tony Birch's novel White Girl. Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander writers have established a rich body of literature chronicling the plight of the stolen generations and unjust legislation and polices as well as stories of love, survival and resilience.
