Oranges And Sunshine: Empty Cradles - Plot & Excerpts
I missed Merv, Ben and Rachel terribly, but my joyful home-coming was tempered by the knowledge that I had thirteen or so new cases and very few answers. I’d made a commitment to this small group of people and I had to keep my promise to discover their family histories, the reasons why they were migrated, and if they had any surviving relatives in Britain. Just how I was going to manage this while holding down a full-time job as a social worker with the Social Services Department, was another big question mark. I’d taken annual leave to go to Australia. It was considered a personal trip. Although I had informed my immediate bosses, I couldn’t expect them to give me any time off. I would have to use more of my precious leave to visit St Catherine’s House. Some colleagues didn’t seem particularly interested in what I’d uncovered. That was understandable, they were up to their eyes in their own day-to-day problems – social workers are operating at the edge most of the time and have very little left for anything else.
