Sam Wells is no stranger to local stories. As a historian at the Northern Territory Library, she pretty much lives and breaths stories. You can find her sleuthing through the collections or pouring over old documents with people who have questions about our history. Sam takes us back twenty years to the lounge room of an old woman who shared her story with Sam and changed her course forever.

​

Sam told her story at the SPUN: True Stories Told in the Territory themed 'Uncovered' at Northern Territory Library at Parliament House on 17 March 2017.
