Описание:

Nick's Life up until now has been packed with trouble -- a neglected childhood followed by run in's with the law. He now resides in a detention centere, rubbing shoulders with other troubled lads. Escape can mean a new start, or if nothing else, respect from other inmates.

Margaret and Jack enjoy a privileged life style. But their marriage is on the rocks. Margaret can't accept the changes divorce will mean to her. A demotion from high society and a restricted income will ruin her life, whereas Jack views separation as a chance to cut free. He seeks a peaceful life with his sister-in-law Alice, and his brother-in-law, Brian, on their country farm.

Nick's escape and Margaret and Jack's problems culminate in a standoff at the farm.

The Novel is set in the North of Tasmania, Australia. It explores Man's BID for freedom. But will the freedom nick and others seek be better than what they have already, and perhaps do not appreciate?

Описание:

Smith Street sits on the outskirts of the small town of Burston, just inland from the north-east coast of Tasmania, Australia.

The residents of Smith Street are a varied lot - a mix of ages, backgrounds and personalities. As in any suburban street, anywhere in the world, their lives are lived privately and publicly, irregardless of their choice.
Kathy Smith inherited her home from her parents and has lived there most of her life. Her son, Robert, is about to move out a mere 'stone's throw' away, which is a bitter sweet blessing for her. Robert looks forward to spreading his wings, but his devious mate, Bazza, causes problems for him and his mum.

Kathy's next door neighbour, John, has lived a private life to protect his homosexuality, yet nothing happens in Smith Street without him knowing. Helen, his long suffering friend and nearby neighbour, hears it all.

Next door to John, are the Cabots. Joseph rules with an iron fist, but meets a sticky end at the hands of his wife.
Across the road, from Kathy, elderly sisters have lived a life of self inflicted solitude, in their run-down mansion. Tragedy strikes them both, in an unexpected, and sad way.

Poignant and gently humerous, this novel presents a moving portrait of the residents of one street, in a small, Tasmania town.

Описание: Life offers us plenty of opportunities. We construct our life plan-our Plan A, but life is never so simple. It tests us with setbacks, dead ends, hellos and good-byes. To put it simply: Sometimes, we get stuck. However, The Promise in Plan B confronts fears about these changes and obstacles and encourages readers to develop a new life path. This book is grounded in the reality that life tends to be a series of interruptions, and we each possess a wealth of resources to initiate, investigate, and recreate the way we travel through our shifting courses. Unlike predictable job skills, these resources emphasize resilience, courage, imagination, humor, curiosity, and more.

Author Mary Farr includes personal stories and profiles of people from all walks of life who have faced challenges, despair and unforeseen obstacles but in the midst of the turmoil recognized their Plan B. This book explores themes of grace and gratitude seasoned with a generous dose of wit. Each chapter includes a Consider This section which contains questions and observations designed to encourage readers to open their hearts to new ideas. Farr also added journaling pages at the end of the book for those who would rather explore their reflections solo.
