About this product

Product Information

In 1986 Margaret Humphreys, a Nottingham social worker, investigated a woman s claim that, aged four, she had been put on a boat to Australia by the British government. At first incredulous, Margaret discovered that this was just the tip of an enormous iceberg. Up to 150,000 children had been deported from children s homes in Britain and shipped off to a new life in distant parts of the Empire the last as recently as 1967. any were told that their parents were dead, and parents often believed that their children had been adopted in Britain. In fact, for many children it was to be a life of horrendous physical and sexual abuse far away from everything they knew. Margaret reveals how she unravelled this shocking secret; how it became her mission to reunite these innocent and unwilling exiles with their families in Britain, by founding the Child Migrants Trust.
