Description

As one of nine children growing up during the Depression in Australia, Ivy Williams learned early about scratching out a living. For thirteen years she travelled around New South Wales with her family, experiencing an itinerant lifestyle that was hard but mainly happy as they worked at any job available, from picking peas to trapping rabbits. Then suddenly, with the death of her mother, followed by the imprisonment of her father, Ivy¿s world fell apart. The family was broken up and Ivy was incarcerated for years in the infamous Parramatta Girls¿ home, becoming one of the 500,000 'forgotten Australians¿ who were institutionalised, neglected, abused and forgotten during the 20th century. The spiritual strength inherited from her mother helped Ivy to cope but once she became free she found herself imprisoned in another way, locked into a frequently violent marriage during which she again needed all her strength to survive. Ivy¿s story is both a tribute to her indomitable spirit and an inspiring example of how inner strength and determination are vital factors in overcoming adversity and transforming hardship into happiness.
