This is the story of Ruby Thambyrajah, an incredible and inspirational woman. Just about everyone calls Ruby “Ammah” which is Tamil for “mother”. Ruby and her husband, Raju, along with their four children, were the first Tamils to migrate to Australia from Sri Lanka following the end of the White Australia Policy. She was a beloved teacher at Sydney’s Blacktown Girls’ High School for a decade. Now 90 years of age, Ruby’s life story is one of resilience and grace in the face of heartrending losses. How does a precocious, carefree girl grow into a formidable wife, mother and teacher who ends up parenting four children alone in a foreign land?
