About the Author

Sally Bin Demin grew up in Broome during the 1940's and 1950's. Her mother was a member of the stolen generation who spent over fifty years in a relationship with a Malay man. Denim herself acknowledges she is also of Asian and Aboriginal ancestry and identifies with other ethnic groups. She lived at Beagle Bay, then at Holy Child Orphanage with her sister, Pearl, while her mother worked in various houses in Broome. At age fourteen she went to work at the Streeter and Male general store for the next twenty one years.
