Book excerpt: Brolga (aka Chris Barns) is the 6ft 7in strong but sensitive Aussie star of the extraordinary BBC series Kangaroo Dundee. Brolga lives in a simple tin shed in the outback where he raises orphaned baby kangaroos. It is a sad fact of life that kangaroo mothers are at the mercy of speeding cars in this part of the world - killed on the road, their young still tucked up in their pouches. These young joeys holding on to life, have been given a second chance thanks to the kindness and dedication of Brolga, who carefully retrieves them and nurses them back to health. Brolga has been rescuing these special creatures for years, slowly and painstakingly creating a kangaroo sanctuary for the many kangaroos he has saved, reared and loved. He has dedicated his life to observing how kangaroo mums care for their babies and does everything he can to replicate this. The baby kangaroos, traumatised by losing their mother so early, are tucked up into pillow cases and kept warm and comforted next to Brolga at night. We see him getting up at 4am to bottle feed them, washing them in a little tub, taking them to the supermarket and generally mothering them with heart breaking tenderness. Charting Brolga's life with the joeys and honing in on his relationship with one or two in particular, Kangaroo Dundee tells the heart-warming, sometimes funny, sometimes poignant story of one man's unique relationship with a group of extraordinary animals.

The one thing she wants most of all—to become a mother—still seems far out of reach. When she and her best friend go to Boise for a night out, the handsome stranger Delaney meets seems too good to be true.

If she just so happens to get what she’s always wanted out of spending the night with him, he’ll never have to know. But soon after Delaney discovers she’s pregnant, a newcomer moves onto the ranch just outside of Dundee. And wouldn’t you know, it just so happens to be Conner…

Now he's come home to Dundee, the small town where he was raised, but he's a stranger to the people who once knew him. Folks think he's bitter and withdrawn; he knows he's just focused on recovering. But thanks to Hannah Price, there are some things that can't be fixed. Hannah has been struggling to recover from that fateful night, too. Unlike Gabe, she sustained only minor injuries. But she's not sure she'll ever be able to forgive herself for making a mistake with such far-reaching consequences.

Download or read book The Crescent written by Ian Campbell and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When John Murphy is sentenced to six months hard labour in Perth Prison for fighting, his wife Annie is left to raise his children in poverty in the tenements of the crescent. She relies on a pittance from her jute mill wages and handouts from the Parish until her husband is released and tries to break the poverty trap by bare-knuckle fighting in the boxing booths and beer tents. His hard drinking, hard-man style is reduced to that of 'kettle-biler' at home, like thousands of other men in Dundee who are out of work. Meanwhile, Westminster and the Whitehall war-rooms are booming, thanks to the growth of the British Empire and the realisation that gold and diamonds in South Africa are ready for the taking. The 'Kettle-Bilers' are perfect fodder for the Black Watch recruiting sergeants in Dundee who are swamped with men eager to escape the grimy oppression of the jute mills or the dole. The Boer War takes them to the brink of life and death in a faraway land that the real people of Dundee had never heard of before the call to arms. But what happens to the women left at home? Will the Dundonians ever return from the Boer War? Can the poverty-stricken, alcohol-fuelled, neglectful generation cycle ever be stopped? Find out all this and more in this heart-wrenching, gritty story of hardship, tragedy, hurt and violence, based on the author's true story of his Dundee family's origins.
