'Aunty Eileen's book, I am the Daughter they Stole, documents the remarkable life of a remarkable woman. It begins from the time Eileen was tricked as a four-year-old into getting into the Chevrolet truck that separated her from her mother for 15 years, to her becoming the first Aboriginal teacher in the Northern Territory and providing policy advice to four Chief Ministers over 26 years. This intimate memoir takes readers on the journey of her extraordinary life.' - Senator Malarndirri McCarthy, Minister for Indigenous Australians
