• Sommario/riassunto: At the age of five, after years of abuse, and just months after the death of her father, Robyn was sent on a 'holiday' and was never returned to her family. She waited at the gate for her mother to return but it soon dawned on her that her family was not coming to get her. This is Robyn's story. From humble and sometimes horrific beginnings Robyn became one of Australia's leading fashion and textile designers and an accomplished artist. In Waiting at the Gate Robyn transforms her life in front of the reader's eyes and comes back from the brink of suicide to build a happy and successful life.
