Lee-AhMat is unapologetic as she writes from a sense of knowing and doing perspective of being an Aboriginal-Torres Strait Islander woman in contemporary Australia.

Born on the Mainoru River, Central Arnhem Land in 1943, Eileen had a happy childhood growing up with her extended family on Mainoru Station. In 1948 her life changed forever when she was forcibly removed from her home and family according to the Commonwealth Government policies of the day. Eileen was taken to live at the Methodist Mission on Croker Island from 1948 to 1960. Eileen experienced some happy times on Croker, but she always grieved for her mother and country. Eileen first reconnected with her mother Florrie in 1962. For Eileen reconnecting with her mother, family and country would be a journey of healing that continues today. How this journey has impacted on Eileen's entire family is told through the experiences of her daughter Raelene and Granddaughter Grace.On Crocker Island Eileen's most important relationships were with the other children, but one by one they were unexpectedly 'taken away' from her and moved to other parts of Australia. Despite the constant grief and trauma of broken relationships Eileen's resilience enabled her to do well at school and complete her secondary education in Darwin and then tertiary studies in Brisbane 1961-1963. Eileen's educational success underpinned a long and distinguished professional career. In 1964 she returned to the Northern Territory as its first Indigenous early childhood teacher. Later, while her own family grew, Eileen went on utilise her community negotiation and engagement skills with great success in a variety of Northern Territory Government policy areas. Australia's Stolen Generations is a blight on its history. Its impact then and now on those removed from their families and the generations who followed is ongoing and profound. The Cummings Family's story illustrates how they have lived with and overcome this traumatic event by keeping family close and reclaiming their culture through their connections to country. It is a story of love, resilience, and courage.
