No One's Child is the moving memoir of Judith McNeil's child years, growing up in outback Queensland alongside the railway monitors that her daddy worked on. No easy life for these kids who have been often referred to as 'railway-brats'; as they constantly moved in one small town to another pursuing their father's work. Judith's life was one of hardship and poverty. The eldest of six children she soon took on the role of provider and caregiver, while frantically craving passion from a mom too tired to give it and a daddy who resented her because she wasn't a boy. Yet there is still joy found: in the vibrant Gypsy camp, packed with laughter and love; in the eyes of Tom, the engine driver who assumed in her and fed her thirst for knowledge; and in the a friendly relationship of Billy, the boy who could see into her soul. No One's Child is an unforgettable family portrait of Australian life in the 1950s. Having a vivid ensemble of heroes and placed against the setting of the ever-changing outback landscaping, it will leave you marveling at the indomitable spirit of one young daughter who was determined to forge her own future.
