Daughter of the River Country
”“Growing up, Dianne O’Brien thought life was good until her mum died and the mirage imploded. Her story from stolen generation to finally meeting her people is tragic, shocking, miraculous and ultimately uplifting.”
The Australian Women's Weekly
”“Daughter of the River Country is a harrowing read but an utterly remarkable story. Aunty Di goes through hardship after hardship but still carries hope for herself and her family, even when things are at their darkest. Her constant positivity and belief in herself is something we should all aspire to.”
Good Reading magazine
”“Through all this turmoil Dianne has become a leader, a mentor, a person who champions her people. She shows that you get knocked down time and again, but you get up and persist and learn. She gave me pause to consider what shapes our identity. What makes someone persevere, to want better time and again? This is a life story which is difficult to read: which is why it is necessary, and everyone should.”
