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 Johnson. Both confronting and deeply moving\, Johno shines a li
 ght on one of the most troubling and often overlooked chapters of Australi
 an history.\n“This book pulls back the curtain on a world that should ne
 ver have been hidden. Johno reveals the extraordinary grit of those forced
  to endure darkness. An engrossing\, deeply moving read that lingers long 
 after the final page.”  Troy Henderson\, The Australian 2025 Fiction Pr
 ize Winner\nKathleen O'Reilly Johnson will be in conversation with Gerard 
 McCann\, winner of the WA Premiers Book Awards for non-fiction in 2025.
