The Extraordinary story of the challenges for a young girl growing up in Taranaki from the 1860's to 1880's, her sufferings at the hands of an abusive father, interwoven with the unfortunate events surrounding the siege of Parihaka, and how these happenings were to impact on her life. The symbolism she represents is that of the many young people of that time who were considered to be nobodies. They had no name that gave them status in life and they had no standing in the community. They were essentially non- persons and yet they were bright, courageous, and hardworking when times allowed.
Dr Patricia Berwick has a PHD in anthropology and has been involved in researching and writing much or her working life.She has published widely for government and private organisations.She has done much research on Maori tribal authorites land claim issues.
