An abandoned Australian child struggles to survive and find her
American father. An unacceptable liaison, a secret birth, a
mother's silence, and her black child's journey to discover the
truth... It is 1948, Sydney, Australia. Pretty, blonde Grace
discovers she is pregnant to a black merchant marine who has sailed
back to America. The White Australia Policy is in place and
society's judgment matters; so what will Grace do with this baby?
This is the true story of the inconvenient child. Rescued from
neglectful foster care by an American champion boxer, the baby is
taken to live in a party house in Sydney's red light district of
Kings Cross. Her absent, elegant mother then abandons Sharyn in a
convent-orphanage, at age five. By fifteen, discrimination within
her family, resentment and clashes over her father's undisclosed
identity see the troubled teenager running away to the streets of
Kings Cross where she's arrested and sentenced to notorious
juvenile detention centers. Sharyn's solace is her love of music
but can she realize her dream to become a singer if, by
twenty-four, she is trapped in the Kings Cross lifestyle?
Determined to find her father, Sharyn sets out in search of her
roots, a quest taking her across the world and eventually to
America's Deep South. But will she find the loving family and
belonging she has yearned for all her life?
