"'And the difficulties have become much clearer to me since I've been at Jigalong.' 'Yes. It's the same old story, really. We lived on a reserve outside a town. My father sold me many times, to white men, when I was a kid.' She says it in a matter-of-fact voice, without anger, without bitterness. 'That's terrible,' I say, barely comprehending what her life might have been like. 'It was. The price they paid for my body was a flagon of sherry.'
