Lesley Williams is forced to leave Cherbourg Aboriginal Settlement and her family at a young age to work as a domestic servant. Apart from a bit of pocket money, Lesley never sees her wages – they are kept ‘safe’ for her and for countless others just like her. She is taught not to question her life, until desperation makes her start to wonder, where is all that money she earned? So begins a nine-year journey for answers which will test every ounce of her resolve. Inspired by her mother’s quest, a teenage Tammy Williams enters a national writing competition. The winning prize takes Tammy and Lesley to Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch and ultimately to the United Nations in Geneva. Told with honesty and humor, Not Just Black and White is an extraordinary memoir about two women determined to make sure history is not forgotten.

This is both a wonderful memoir and an important historical book. As a memoir, the story is moving and inspiring how one person, mother Lesley, is able to rise above what her situation might have destined for her, and to inspire her children to better quality and confident lives. Lesley is one special person. As an historical book, how many Australians are like me, having no idea of the degree of suppression of indigenous people (growing up about the same time I did). It will be an inspiring movie one day. The book is a wonderful book and very highly recommended.
Quite a life changing book. A beautiful, challenging, enlightening and uplifting memoir. The writing is very clear and fluid, yet still captures the authors' voices.
Required reading. A brilliant book so beautifully written with love and humor - it engages readers on a topic that most don't know or understand. Queensland's black history.
