Because I Love Him by Ashlee Donohue is a memoir of rare insight into strong family ties, the intricacies of relationships and the unspoken expectations within urban Aboriginal communities. A proud Dunghutti woman, born and raised in Kempsey, NSW, Donohue was determined to keep her family together, despite the unforgivable acts and inevitable fallout, to gift her children what she never had – the presence of their father.

This historical narrative reveals the life of Linda, a young woman struggling to come to grips with her rudderless existence, of her stumbling back to her hometown after a failed marriage, and having to face the judgments of a stoic Japanese mother. Chieko’s life is in stark contrast, having survived the most horrific last days of World War II, and having come of age in occupied Japan where she made a living working in a hostess club serving drinks and dancing with servicemen. Linda wants to write her mother’s story, and Chieko always says no.
