    Episode 103: Helena Kidd on sharing her mother's hidden story, and breaking the silence

    Ten years ago, Helena Kidd, a first-generation Australian of Greek Cypriot origin, came across her mother’s handwritten Greek diary. When it was translated, a very different woman emerged from the pages than the one who had brought her up. The hardships Maria Avraam experienced as a Greek Cypriot woman forced into a loveless, abusive marriage, immigrating to a foreign country, coping with marital abandonment, and raising three children as a single parent were glossed over.
