Leah Purcell's purpose had always been to look after her mum. And while she had dreams of the big city and becoming an actor, being a Goa-Gunggari-Wakka Wakka Murri girl from the bush made that unlikely. Leah had a baby at 17 with an abusive man which made her acting dreams impossible. That was until her mother's greatest gift, her death.

Warning: This episode contains some swearing.

This story was first told at The Wheeler Center Gala in Melbourne, in 2018.

The Producer for the ABC was Emma Gibbs.
