Amelia Oberhardt thought she knew her Mum… until she died. It was then Amelia discovered a photo revealing her mother, a teenager, with a ding ring, an apparent husband, cuddling an unknown baby. Determined to find out more, Amelia’s journey takes her into the secrets of 1950-1970s Australia—shotgun marriages, hushed abortions, and forced adoptions. It’s the story of what happens when young women are put in impossible situations, and where this messy knot leaves families decades later.
