Hope is a butterfly. Fear is a stone. As the father waits for his son to come home. For anyone…
who has been or has loved a prodigal child, here is a voice in the night that says you are not alone. 'The Butterfly and the Stone' is a story of fear and hope on a journey that leads from the safety of home to Iraq, and home again to face a fiercer enemy: post-traumatic stress and addiction. Woven throughout is God's love...found in a most unexpected place...By Rosamund Stone Zander, Benjamin Zander. 2002
The Art of Possibility offers a set of breakthrough practices for creativity in all human enterprises. Infused with the energy…
of their dynamic partnership, the book joins together Ben's extraordinary talent as a mover and shaker, teacher, and communicator, with Rosamund Stone Zander's genius for creating innovative paradigms for personal and professional fulfillment. In lively counterpoint, the authors provide us with a deep sense of the powerful role that the notion of possibility can play in every aspect of our lives.The Zanders' deceptively simple practices are based on two premises: that life is composed as a story and that, with new definitions, much more is possible than people ordinarily think.By Narelle Gee. 2010
What happens when the world's biggest musical acts sit down on Australia's most famous couch? The answer: drunkenness, dark introspection,…
mania, hilarity, incoherent rambling, sharp-edged commentary and fiery 'artistic differences'. And the occasional food fight. Real Wild Child is the story of a music obsessive who landed the job of her dreams programming rage. Narelle Gee and the rage couch have shared many secrets. Over more than twenty years of rage, the couch has seen it all: the famous golden bottom of Kylie Minogue and the partly leather-clad, mostly bare buttocks of KISS rocker Gene Simmons; the contortions of Courtney Love; the tattooed muscles of Henry Rollins; the dark and light sides of Nick Cave, Trent Reznor, Gwen Stefani, Billy Corgan, Marilyn Manson, Michael Hutchence, Lily Allen, Green Day, Beastie Boys, Silverchair, Public Enemy, the Prodigy, Foo Fighters, Powderfinger, Sonic Youth and many, many more. Its fabric has been marked by cheap wine, fine Champagne, cocktails, beer, coffee, pizza, hamburger, cigarette ash, and other substances. Once, it was touched by fire. (Some electronic artists have a fondness for arson.) With the biggest names in music and juicy backstage anecdotes, Real Wild Child is packed with real wild moments, rock and roll tales, and plenty of secrets from the couch ...By Leslie Cannold. 2005
What, No Baby? takes us on a journey into the lives of contemporary women whose plans to have it all…
- marriage, motherhood and work - have been derailed by reluctant men, insatiably demanding jobs and ever-climbing expectations of what it takes to be a "good" mother. Leslie Cannold argues that this is the twenty-first century's 'problem without a name' and that the unprecedented obstacles modern women face in achieving the life most of them want are tragically real. Women want to mother as much as they ever did. What has changed is their willingness to sacrifice everything they've built - everything they are - to do so.By Anne Summers. 2003
Among the most contentious issues Australia faces at the beginning of the 21st century is one that many thought had…
been dealt with in the '70s: the condition of Australian women. Debate still rages over their position in the workplace, their alleged failure to 'breed' sufficiently, their lack of true economic equality, and their inability to penetrate in any real numbers the proverbial glass ceilings in corporate and public life. What happened to the so-called feminist revolution? Why do most women feel exhausted and trapped? Is there real choice in women's lives today?By Maggie MacKellar. 2014
After Maggie Mackellar’s acclaimed When It Rains, her second memoir traces with her characteristic candour and perception her move to…
Tasmania, for love, and the struggles and joys of settling there. In 2011 Maggie Mackellar moved from her family’s farm in Central West New South Wales to the east coast of Tasmania with her children and assorted menagerie to live with a farmer. ’In the book she explores learning to love again after living through grief, and the complexities of doing this in a community with which she is unfamiliar, with two young children. She reflects on love after grief, juggling being a mother and negotiating a burgeoning relationship, the rhythms of country life, displacement and the writing life. This is a book for anyone who has imagined taking a risk, for anyone who has moved to a new place and struggled with feelings of homesickness and displacement. It is a story about making a life in a remarkable setting - the east coast of Tasmania, on a sheep farm in a stone house built by convicts in 1828.By Bronwyn Donaghy. 2006
On 21 October 1995, Anna Wood went to a party and took an ecstasy tablet. Three days later she was…
dead. A life destroyed. A family devastated. She was just fifteen. She was leaving school to start the job of her dreams. She was beautiful, she had a loving family and countless friends. Bronwyn Donaghy interviewed friends, family members and numerous professionals in order to write the story of the circumstances surrounding Anna's death and of her family's decision to try and turn tragedy into a positive force for good.It is a story of our times, a story with powerful resonances for Anna's generation and their parents, for counsellors, doctors and teachers, for anyone who values the sanctity of life.By Ramona Koval. 2015
"I looked up the name in the phone book and rang the number. I tried to imagine the conversation that…
might ensue. ‘Hello? I was wondering if you’re the man who was recently at an auction and asked a woman named Mary if I was married and had children and was happy-and if you are, are you my real father?" Ramona Koval’s parents were Holocaust survivors who fled their homeland and settled in Melbourne. As a child, Koval learned little about their lives - only snippets from traumatic tales of destruction and escape. But she always suspected that the man who raised her was not her biological father. One day in the 1990s, long after her mother’s death, she decides she must know the truth. A phone call leads to a photograph in the mail, then tea with strangers. Before long Koval is interrogating a nursing-home patient, meeting a horse whisperer in tropical Queensland, journeying to rural Poland, learning other languages and dealing with Kafkaesque bureaucracy, all in the hope of finding an answer.By Betty McGill. 2017

This encourages people to manifest the positive aspects of themselves, showing them how to create a new way of living.By Slim Dusty, Joy McKean. 2003
"I was born David Gordon Kirkpatrick but by the time I was eleven, I was darn sure that I wasn't…
going to be Gordon Kirkpatrick in my glittering future, no way. Gordon couldn't do this, Gordon couldn't do that. But, by hell, someone like a Slim Dusty, for instance, could and would do all the wonderful things I had in mind. That's how Slim Dusty was born..." Slim Dusty was one of Australia's best loved country music performers. He was also a bush legend and his most famous song, "A Pub With No Beer", made him one of the most celebrated country musicians in Australia. Written by Slim and his wife, Joy McKean, Another Day, Another Town provides an account of his life and a career that spanned over fifty years.
