It was 1945. The men were home from the war and Lara Baxter was born into the generation of baby boomers. Lara grew up in the sixties in a middle-class suburb of Perth, Western Australia with a mother of Victorian values and a larrikin father who loved a beer with his mates. Lara loved her father and all she ever wanted was his love and approval, but it never came. After spending 20 years abiding by the rules, her life would be changed forever. She was raped. Unmarried and pregnant, she had disgraced the family and was kicked out of home to have the baby behind closed doors. Without anyone to support her, the baby was forcibly removed for adoption. Silently she lived with the pain in her heart and grieved alone. Nothing could ever change her life now. She became a different person. She became stronger, her voice became louder. She was never forgiven by her parents and every day was a fight for survival.
