A Stolen Life

A landmark legal case that exposed the injustices of the Stolen Generations.

On Christmas Day 1957, Joe Trevorrow sought help for his sick baby boy. Relatives took Bruce to the hospital, but within days, Bruce was living with another family, and Joe never saw his son again. At ten, Bruce returned to his Indigenous family, sparking a life-long search for identity and a historic court case.

Stolen Life reveals the human story behind the landmark Trevorrow case, exploring themes of Indigenous rights, government policy, and the enduring impact of family separation. Perfect for readers of Australian history, legal studies, and social justice.
