Nancy de Vries succeeded against all odds. Taken from her mother as a baby she was placed in state care. Defying the authorities' expectations, she became a pioneering Indigenous academic, a leader in Aboriginal health services, and was chosen to address the NSW Parliament on behalf of the stolen generations. Aged 55 she met her mother, Ruby: 'It may have been 10 hours in a lifetime, but it was 10 hours they never wanted me to have with her'. "Ten Hours in a Lifetime" documents a history of trauma and oppression through both personal and institutional lenses. Much more than a biography, this book takes the reader on a journey that makes it impossible to think about people of the Stolen Generations in the same way again. Through a unique collaboration, de Vries and her non-Indigenous authors' challenge readers to consider what it means to bear witness. They confront us with both the difficulty and necessity of our own response.
