Book excerpt: “If you’ve never read Margaret Way before, you’re in for a treat.”—New York Times bestselling author Diana Palmer An epic tale of modern day Australia, where greed, desire, tragedy, and ambition collide . . . Alexandra Ross has always known Lavender Hill will be hers one day. The grand old house, with its waving jacaranda fronds circling around it like a canopy against the white-hot Australian sun. The acres of orchards, trees heavy with sweet-smelling mangoes and prickly pink lychee. The rushing emerald creek that claimed her brother’s life; the genteel boudoir where her mother died of grief, gin, and stroke. Even the quad bike her bullheaded father uses to tear around the plantation like a teenager, as his covetous young wife plays tea party with Alex’s mother’s favorite china. Someday Alex will undo her father’s blunders and be the good neighbor her childhood friend Rafe Rutherford deserves. The yearning she feels for Rafe can never overcome the heartbreak they’ve lived through together, but at least she will have his companionship. Until her father is killed and the plantation is divided. If she wants to keep the land she loves Alex must break free of guilt and hesitation. And once she begins to fight for what her heart desires, there’s no telling where she’ll stop . . .

Book excerpt: In this passionate saga set in present-day Australia, the passing of a wealthy patriarch leaves one young woman with a chance to change her life—if it doesn’t bring her world crashing down first... After losing her parents in a tragic accident, young Charlotte was taken in by her grandfather, Sir Reginald Mansfield. Despite his tyrannical tendencies, he cherished her above all—a fact made clear by his surprising bequest. In her early twenties, she intends to follow in his illustrious footsteps in the field of law. And now she is the beneficiary not only of his vast financial assets, but of Clouds—the stunning sandstone house in New South Wales with a breathtaking view of the Blue Mountains and a bountiful garden of fragrant flowers. Unfortunately, not everyone is pleased for her. Charlotte’s grasping aunt and uncle, as well as her controlling, entitled cousin cannot hide their fury. As rivalries simmer and naked greed roils the socially prominent clan, only Brendon Macmillan, Charlotte’s longtime friend, seems genuinely happy for her—despite the bitter, scandalous history between their families. Charlotte’s dream is to use the funds to open a shelter for abused women, and Brendon intends to support and protect her. But often, more money means more betrayals, secrets, and lies—and as Charlotte tries to determine who she can trust, she may be a woman in danger herself... “If you’ve never read Margaret Way before, you’re in for a treat!” --New York Times bestselling author Diana Palmer

Book Synopsis Jim an Australian Hero by : Maria Ngo
Download or read book Jim an Australian Hero written by Maria Ngo and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story of gum trees, cobbled streets and long cups of tea shared between good friends. It is a story that spans over a century. It encompasses rural Victorian life in the early period of Australian settlement to life in the suburbs of Melbourne in the present day. This stirring tale captures the freedom of romping through native bushland and of sleeping under the stars. It is also a tale of waking up in a mice-ridden cellar and studying by the stub of a candle's glow. Jim's biography moves rapidly from one poignant account to another – a miraculous deliverance from addictive smoking, two world wars, life as a ganger on the railway and then as a Missioner to the 'lowest of the low' in Melbourne city. He lived for nearly twenty years among drunks, thieves, murderers and other hurting and damaged souls ravaged by alcohol abuse. James Collett drew the best out of each person he knew. He was 'Jim', 'Mr C', 'Uncle Jim,' 'Dad' and 'Grandpa'. By whichever name he was fondly and respectfully called, his legacy lives on. Jim's biography will inspire and change you. You will not be able to look at your world and life in the same way again. About reading this book: The story that you are about to read is in fact a story within a story. Or more accurately, a compilation of many stories – after all, our lives are made up of many moments and events. Some events have distinct beginnings and ends, while others just merge quietly into the next. Some events in our lives are more memorable than others while others are made memorable because we choose to grace them with our attention. As this particular story goes, it is a little of both . . . At the start of each chapter (and sometimes at the end as well) you will find what I call 'cameo conversations and exchanges' that have to do with more current events in Jim's life. These have been added to give you additional insight into Jim's character and relationships as well as giving you a peek at some 'behind the scenes' stuff. But, if you are only interested in a straight forward chronological narrative of this unique, yet typical-of-the-era Australian, skip those passages typeset in sans-serif text. You can come back to these later – if you wish. However, if you are up to the challenge, you could read it as it is . . . (For those familiar with The French Lieutenant's Woman as well as fans of the very popular TV series Lost and Once Upon a Time, this should not prove too daunting an approach.) I've tried to allow Jim's 'voice' to be reflected in his biography as much as possible. As such, minimal editing has been undertaken in the 'main' passages in order to preserve, wherever possible, the narrative style of an 'oral tradition'. REVIEWS Jim Collett's life which spans more than a century from his birth in 1902 with descriptions as a rural laborer appear far-fetched and removed from our comfortable, well-nourished lives today. His matter-of-fact descriptions of growing up in a large poor family in a rural town, his rudimentary schooling with few resources or books, the need to leave school early and find work far from home were in fact the norm for large numbers of his generation. Today's parents and young people would be shocked by the freedom young people had to roam the countryside with no supervision. Jim's life resonates with some of the anecdotes told to me of their earlier life, by my parents and their friends who also grew up in the country. Jim learnt the hard way that not all employers were humane or honest – yet his story bears no resentment. Jim's gentle, trusting nature shines through. Jim's recollections of life as a railway ganger records something of the lives of the men who hammered out the rail netwo

Book Synopsis True History of the Kelly Gang by : Peter Carey
Download or read book True History of the Kelly Gang written by Peter Carey and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2010-10-22 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SOONTO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE The international bestseller, Booker Prize winner, and winner of the 2001 Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Best Book. Out of 19th century Australia rides a hero of his people and a man for all nations: Ned Kelly, the son of poor Irish immigrants, viewed by the authorities as a thief (especially of horses) and, as a cold-blooded killer. To the people, though, he was a patriot hounded unfairly by rich English landlords and their stooges. In the end, Kelly and his so-called gang (his younger brother and two friends) led a massive police manhunt on a wild goose chase that lasted twenty months, in which Ned’s talents as a bushman were augmented by bank robberies and the support of nearly everyone not in a uniform. His one demand – for which he would have surrendered himself was his jailed mother’s freedom. Executed by hanging more than a century ago, speaking as if from the grave, Kelly still resonates as the most potent legend in the land down under.

Book excerpt: Ralph Honner: Kokoda Hero is the story of one of Australia's great World War II battalion commanders. Honner fought as a junior officer in the first and triumphant North African battles of Bardia, Tobruk and Derna. He then took part in the heartbreaking and disastrous campaigns in Greece and Crete where he was one of the last Australians to be evacuated by submarine-three months after Crete's fall. But it was during 1942, at Isurava on the Kokoda Trail and at the Japanese beachhead of Gona in Papua New Guinea, that Ralph Honner played a decisive role in the making of an Australian legend. Worshipped by his men, he was severely wounded in 1943 and, after a long convalescence, served Australia with distinction as a public servant, political figure and diplomat. Written by one of Australia's bestselling military history authors, who knew Ralph Honner and had access to his private letters and papers, Ralph Honner: Kokoda Hero contains gripping, action-packed descriptions of the fighting in North Africa, Greece, Crete and Papua New Guinea. The story of a remarkable man, it covers events from Honner's adolescence in the last vestiges of pioneering Australia through to his distinguished political and diplomatic career, spanning nearly a century of his nation's history.
