SUMMARY:Johno: The remarkable true story of a child migrant
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nAt just seven years old\, Norman Johnston (Johno)
  was deported to Australia without his parents\, one of thousands of Briti
 sh children sent across the world under post-war migration schemes that pr
 omised opportunity and a better life. Instead\, he lost his childhood insi
 de some of Western Australia’s most brutal children’s homes.\nAgainst 
 overwhelming odds\, Norman Johnston forged a life defined not only by hard
 ship\, but by loyalty\, friendship and courage\, including two tours of du
 ty during the Vietnam War.\nNow\, for the first time\, his extraordinary s
 tory is told in Johno\, a gripping narrative non-fiction book by Kathleen 
 O’Reilly Johnston. Both confronting and deeply moving\, Johno shines a l
 ight on one of the most troubling and often overlooked chapters of Austral
 ian history.\n“This book pulls back the curtain on a world that should n
 ever have been hidden. Johno reveals the extraordinary grit of those force
 d to endure darkness. An engrossing\, deeply moving read that lingers long
  after the final page.”  Troy Henderson\, The Australian 2025 Fiction P
 rize Winner\nKathleen O'Reilly Johnson will be in conversation with Gerard
  McCann\, winner of the WA Premiers Book Awards for non-fiction in 2025.
