Julie Jean Evans born in Balmain Sydney to two loving parents yet
she was taken from their care and placed in the child welfare
system for reasons unfathomable today... not an uncommon practice
for this time.
Children from this time raised in Government care are now referred
to as The Forgotten Australians.
Despite having an unimaginable life thrust upon her, Julie is a
wonderful human being who has triumphed over many atrocities that
were directly attributed to life in the system that was supposedly
there to protect her.
One of the forgotten Australians, Julie Jean has built a life for
her and her seven children. Now she is in Muttabarra, located at
the centre of Queensland, helping to manage the local Exchange
Hotel.
She has dedicated herself as being a positive example of moving
past just surviving, of taking the bull by the horns and fulfilling
a life long dream.
For as long as Julie can remember, Julie has had a strong
compulsion to craft her story, to have her voice finally heard.
This has come from System Exposed - Heartbeat of My Life. It's a
life wrenching journey through Julie's life story as she finds her
way to a place of hope, happiness and peace.
In Julie's words, this story is to pass on insight not her
suffering, to help others to understand The Forgotten Australians
and who they are. To educate and reach out to others that have had
to endure at the hands of abuse.
"A compelling honest telling of an ordeal most would never believe or consider possible in a modern world...A brave book by an inspiring woman who survived and who shares from a place of love, not spite...wonderful..." Alexandra, Indiebook reviewer
