About the Book

Magpie at My Door would never have been written had it not been for the encouragement of my friend Kate. Kate, and her kitchen, nurtured me through the conception, the direction I should take and the channeling I needed to remain focused whenever I drifted away from the true essence of my story. Many times I said to Kate "Who wants to read this stuff? I feel like I am being self-indulgent." Each time she replied. "Your life is a record of social evolution; A personal lens that parallels a changing world."Well here it is and thank you Kate ! Magpie at My Door, The Beginning. Part One. A story about growing up and surviving years of change and social unrest. Referencing significant world events occurring while combined with a turbulent personal life. Living in a convent in the bush in Western Australia from four years old years old. Farmed out to indifferent families until pre teen. Living in South Africa during Arpartheid. Experiencing years of domestic violence sanctioned at the time by society. Enduring six week long cramped shipboard journeys alone as a teenager travelling from Australia to England. Temporarily imprisoned in Czechoslovakia. Living in a kombi van while driving through Europe, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan Pakistan, India and Nepal en route to Australia. "From the age of four I have always had to adjust to leaving and being left by the people I love. Moving continuously from place to place the constant in my life remains the dawn song of the magpie whenever I return to Australia. This repetitive sound gives me a sense of place and belonging.""Magpie at My Door is a trilogy. A three part story covering three quarters of a century of a rich and varied life.
