New Triskele Book Release - The Swooping Mapgie

"Heartbreaking drama of lost innocence, deceit and a scandal that shook Australia." Jill's Book Cafe

Cover by JD Smith Design

It is difficult for any Australian born after the feminist movement to understand the plight of being sixteen, pregnant and unmarried in 1970. The sanctity of marriage was still the vital cornerstone of society and it was impossible to envisage raising a child outside this union blessed by church and state.

For a girl bringing such disgrace to her family, it was an unforgiving world. Rather than being able to rejoice at bringing forth this new life, these girls were shunted into a world of shame –– hidden at home or sent interstate to homes for unmarried mothers.

But The Swooping Magpie isn't simply the story of a society refusing support to mothers battling to raise an infant alone. It also exposes the brutal adoption industry practices that targeted healthy newborns for infertile couples.

Until the mid-70s it was common practice to adopt out the babies of unwed mothers. In the 1960s, Sydney’s Crown Street Women’s Hospital was one of largest sources of Australia’s adopted babies. Patient documents from Crown Street and other maternity hospitals show that from the moment most unmarried girls arrived, their records were marked “for adoption”.

From 1950 – 1980, an estimated 250,000 girls had their newborns taken. Many claimed they were duped into signing paperwork whilst under postpartum sedation, or made to feel selfish if they kept their babies. Forced to pay this terrible price for pregnancy outside marriage, thousands of women harboured their grief, in silence, for decades.

We might ask ourselves how these women survived. Did they “just forget about it and get on with their lives” as urged by an arrogant and punitive society? The stories I heard demonstrate that frequently, the trauma of their loss never left them. Made to feel unworthy and unfit, they developed psychological problems. Some never married. Some never gave birth again.

The Swooping Magpie is on NEW RELEASE promo for only 99c/p from your favourite retailer:


If you'd like to read book 1 (a standalone) in this 1970s Aussie family drama series, The Silent Kookaburra is also available at your favourite retailer.

"Unsettling psychological suspense blending the intensity of Wally Lamb with the atmosphere of Peter James, this story will get under your skin..."

  19. 기로서니 이 사람 많은 곳에서 빌다니...

    「당신이 화 내고 나갈 때는 장소를 따지지 않았잖아요 ?.」 「그래도 거기는 아무도
    안봤잖아.」 「왜 아무도 안봐요 ?. 알레스가 지켜보고 있었는데. 내가 선택한 남자가 날
    못믿는데 내가 얼마나 얼굴이 뜨거웠는지 알아요 ?. 여긴 아는 사람이나 없지요.」 그때
    일이 생각나는지 상은이 아주 사납게 쏘아댔다.

    「흠.」
    중국 관광객들이 점점 다가오고 있다. 후음. 여기서 빌라구.
    「무릎까지 꿇을래요 ?」
    머뭇거리고 있는 그를 그녀가 여전히 째려보고 있다.
    에라. 모르겠다. 상은이 말대로 아는 사람 하나 없는 캐나다이다.
    그는 상은이 앉아 있는 벤치의자로 가까이 갔다.

    「뭐하는 거에요 ?. 빌라니까.」
    그의 얼굴의 코앞까지 다가온다.

  51. As a student, it would be hard for you to easily trust any online sites for getting the best thesis help as it would be a vital part of your academic career. Several false companies would give you the worst experience, so you need to do proper research about the company before hiring it. But, you need to choose a professional company providing the best thesis helper who guarantees their work and the quality of writing they’ll provide. It can be dangerous if you hire an unknown company for thesis writing, and there’ll be possibilities of losing money. You must check the reviews of the companies online that the actual customers provide. Also, various companies have different prices for the services they offer you can compare them and choose the best one as per your requirements.
