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?

Tales of Tasmania

Tasmania, Australia's Island State, provides visitors and residents alike with spectacular scenery and intriguing history. Set against the backdrop of this unique place, this collection of three novellas offers tales of adventure and family life.

In The Siding set in the mid 1940's, the inhabitants of the small, rural town of Moses must fight to keep their passenger-train service. Meanwhile the wife of one of the protesters struggles with an unexpected pregnancy whilst a young girl goes missing, sparking a search-and-rescue effort.

Twin Rivers tells the story of Jessica, a woman raising her son alone in a remote town in south-western Tasmania. The Mayne Hydroelectric dam is on the verge of bursting due to heavy rains. With the help of two hydro employees, the looming flood disaster is prevented. One of them, Tony, begins to fall for Jessica, but only time will tell if romance will bloom.

In The Cat Woman, a rash of horrible cat deaths spook the picturesque town of Northside, with no indication of who is killing the animals or why. An elderly woman copes with heartbreak and injury whilst rescuing abandoned cats to protect them. Her granddaughter joins forces with the local policeman to track down the killer - but there may be love in the air as well as mystery.

This collection presents a series of dramatic narratives set in the beautiful countryside of Tasmania.

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.
