"This book is a brave account of one woman's experience when things went badly wrong in her marriage. She lost her eldest son when her former husband abducted him. June was put into psychiatric care, and her two other children were taken by State Welfare. In the early 1970s women's rights were negligible; post-natal depression and 'battered wife syndrome' weren't recognised. June fought the odds and built a home for her family"--back cover.
