Book Description
Going back where you came from is harder if it's where you already are... Migrants arrive in the Lucky Country from lands their forebears knew for a thousand years. They know where they are and why they’re here and what they face. Then there are their children…born in a country that can't spell their names, and of a heritage that doesn't know they were born. Reminded every day that he doesn't quite belong, and reminding himself where others forget or couldn't care less, second generation Ed Kaspar sets out on a journey to not only be an Australian but to be his country, to “be Australia,” with nineteenth century bush-balladist Henry Lawson as his guide. Determined to “romance the swag,” Ed abandons his career for outback sheep stations. He works his way to an iconic identity while at a crossroads in his life, while his nation is at a crossroads of its own. The chronicle explores the changing face of Australia, and a name among many that it went by, Ed Kaspar. With its small town focus, A Country Of Our Clay nonetheless brings a universality to a narrative with the power to awaken and share wherever anyone needs a place to call home.

Book Description
It's not always about how we fall- it's about where we end up once we land. I remember the very first time I laid eyes on Cole Lincoln. It still feels like yesterday when he stumbled into my life with his messy brown hair and dark eyes. Even though I was only ten years old at the time, I knew right then and there that he was going to change everything. From that point on Cole and I were always together-inseparable-and I naively believed we'd be best friends forever. But forever didn't last nearly as long as I expected. We grew up and grew apart, life driving the distance between us, but my love for Cole never faltered. Even long after he moved away, leaving me and our little town behind, I still carried a piece of him with me every single day. Because Cole wasn't just my childhood best friend- the boy who knew me better than anyone else in the whole world. He was also my first love- a part of my very core. When a tragic death brings us face to face again after six years, every single memory comes rushing to the surface. Only this is not the boy I fell in love with all those years ago. The man before me is hardened, intimidating, and so damn sexy I practically melt when those dark eyes meet mine for the first time in six years. And like the first time he walked into my life, I know with complete certainty that everything is about to change. How We Fall is a STANDALONE Romance Novel.

He’s perfectly content to play video games and sit at his bedroom window watching the neighborhood talk outside. But for Xavier’s twelfth birthday, he receives a pair of funky socks and a challenge from his great-uncle, Frankie Bell, saying it’s time to swag out and speak up. First on the list: get into the legendary Scepter League. Xavier’s grandfather, great-uncle, and father were all invited to join the elite boys’ after-school club that admits only the most suave and confident young men. Xavier has never had the courage to apply before, but his wild socks are getting him some big attention, so maybe it’s time to come out of the shadows and follow in his family's footsteps.

Wife's Heart
Author: Kerrie Davies
Publisher: Univ. of Queensland Press
ISBN: 0702259209
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
An innovative, imaginative work of biography, examining Bertha and Henry Lawson's marriage through a modern lens Henry Lawson was Australia's bush bard, a revered cultural icon, yet he descended into alcoholism, poverty and an early death. Many blamed his young wife, Bertha, for his personal and creative decline. And yet in April 1903, Bertha Lawson alleged in an affidavit that her husband was habitually drunk and cruel, leading her eventually to demand a judicial separation. In A Wife's Heart, Kerrie Davies provides a rare account of this tumultuous relationship from Bertha's perspective. Reproducing their letters – some of which have never been published – Davies takes us from the Lawsons' courtship, marriage and separation to Bertha's struggles as a single parent. While evoking a time when women's rights were advancing considerably, Davies also weaves in her own personal history to show how the emotions and challenges of marriage and single parenthood have remained the same. A Wife's Heart offers an intimate portrait of the Lawsons' marriage, examined through a modern lens. It is an innovative, imaginative work of biography that reflects on the politics of relationships and the enduring complexities of love.
