註釋Growing up on the Mission isn' t easy for clever Grace Oldman. When her classmates tease her for not having a father, she doesn' t know what to say. Papa Neddy says her dad is the Lord God in Heaven, but that doesn' t help when the Mission kids call her a bastard. As Grace slowly pieces together clues that might lead to answers, she struggles to find a place in a community that rejects her for reasons she doesn' t understand. In Mazin Grace, Dylan Coleman fictionalises her mother' s childhood at the Koonibba Lutheran Mission in South Australia in the 1940s and &‘ 50s. Woven through the narrative are the powerful, rhythmic sounds of Aboriginal English and Kokatha language, Mazin Grace is the inspirational story of a feisty girl who refuses to be told who she is, determined to uncover the truth for herself.
