Note: this title was previously announced as 'Plums for Miss', now
called 'White Moko'.
A memoir from award-winning writer and inspirational speaker Tim
Tipene.Tim founded the Warrior Kids programme 22 years ago. Himself
the product of rape, he spent a miserable childhood in which he was
abused by both his birth and foster families. His courses now
empower families and children and this memoir is a recollection of
his life, raised in vio-lence, following on from a junior
collection published last year, Mrs Battleship. It is a tribute
especially to the few teachers who acted at different times to
protect him, as well as his discovery that not everyone endured
what he did.This is funny, sad, poignant and telling. Tim has found
jewels of wisdom and love in a world that had no place for him.
