520			_aThe Long Way Home is the first instalment of Kate's life story. Kate grew up a "homes kid" in the 1950s and 60s, institutionalised into the Burnside Children's Home as a young child after the death of her mother. Kate and her two siblings were placed by their father into the Pennant Hills Burnside. Kate quickly learns to live by the rules of the home and endure the loneliness, cruelty, loss of self and sense of betrayal that came from her life in the homes and her monthly visits to her abusive father.
