Paperback octavo (with flaps), very good condition, sepia (brown-tinted) photos (including inside covers), frontispiece, edges faintly scuffed, minor edgewear. 336 pp. This is an inspiring true story. The four Peisley girls (Nellie, Clare, Millie, Kath) spent their early childhood years in Nyngan, country New South Wales, until…they were separated and had to live in pain and poverty. Nellie, the eldest, brings them all together in the end. The book is packed with historical detail including their early country life, childhood anecdotes to heart-rending descriptions of Depression-era Sydney in the 1930s (Enmore). The sudden death of their beloved father, the crippling mental illness suffered by their mother, the vicious abuse dished out by their stepfather, and years of loneliness and deprivation at a Narellan orphanage (run by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan) are just some of the challenges.The sepia photos of the places and people in the story bring it to life. This memoir is a poignant tribute to one young woman's fortitude in the face of terrible misfortune. (The author, Leonie Binge, is Clare's daughter. She assembled family memories, and visited the Narellan orphanage, and the Good Samaritans office in Glebe.).
