"My Place" is a poignant autobiographical account that traces the personal journey of an Aboriginal woman in Australia as she uncovers her family's past and her own cultural identity. Through a series of interviews and personal reflections, the narrative delves into the experiences of her mother, grandmother, and great-uncle, revealing the hidden stories of displacement, suffering, and resilience that were kept secret due to the shame and stigma associated with their Aboriginal heritage. The book is a powerful exploration of the impact of colonialism and racism on individual lives and serves as a testament to the strength of family bonds and the reclaiming of one's history and sense of self.
