Book excerpt: This is not your usual biography, as it contains such gems of imagination that are awe inspiring. The gift of words is not endowed to everyone, but certainly it is an attribute that June was able to bring to her memoirs. June was born in 1929 in the upstairs bedroom of the Camden Head Public House where her Father was the Licensee. Her story encapsulates life full of many wonderful experiences in her early years. These were idyllic times, however at the tender age of just 8 years of age, her Father died, which turned life literally 'upside down'. The family moved to Chelsea, where 'The Princess of Wales', became their family home. At just eleven years, she was sent away to Boarding School due to the bombing in London during WWII. This is a story of resilience, of enduring incredible hardship at times through circumstances that one would never dream of occurring in one person's life. In her early twenties June survived Tuberculosis which should have claimed her life, the details of hospitals and sanatoriums and the impact it had on her family are almost chilling. This story is also a reflection of a family's life in London throughout the 30s, and then the war years. Her siblings all contributed to the 'war effort', and although June was still quite young, she reflects on her memories of experiences throughout this period.In 1963, married with three children, the family emigrated to Australia however although considered to be a fantastic 'adventure', June was plagued by homesickness. She kept in touch with her Mother by sending hundreds of letters. It was the only way she could stem the feeling of being isolated from everything she knew. It was eight years before she was able to return home for a holiday. She now knew that she could finally enjoy the best of both worlds.

Book excerpt: Late in her life, acclaimed novelist Elizabeth Delamere makes a request of her therapist, Doctor Newman: she asks him to oversee the publication of her last book after she dies. It is a memoir in which she reveals that she is Evelyn Dick, the notorious "torso murderer" acquitted on appeal of dismembering her husband, and convicted of killing her infant son. In 1958 she was paroled, and disappeared into the mists of history. In Blue Moon, James King draws on the historical case of Evelyn Dick, and imagines her life after her release from prison. It is a life in which she travels to Vancouver, renames herself, and settles into a position as sales clerk at Duthie Books on Robson. There she meets Ethel Wilson, begins therapy, and tries to understand the events that led to her imprisonment and current life. She also begins to write, and finds herself a successfully published author. But did she murder her husband? Is she guilty of neglect of her baby boy? Was her life as Hamilton’s most notorious prostitute her responsibility? With the help of Doctor Newman, she attempts to come to understand the violence in which she was involved, her sense of guilt, and the essential truth of her innocence.

Book excerpt: This is Lori Patrick’s life story. The story starts with Lori’s dairy farming childhood during World War II, outlining her parents’ struggles raising eight children during tough times. After a stint working on the farm, Lori moves to the bright lights of the city and into the family of her future husband Barrie Patrick who she met working at the Queensland Times newspaper. Barrie’s family led a flamboyant lifestyle in stark contrast to her own. Barrie’s father Ern was the Queensland Times editor and his mother Eva, the effervescent life of the party. They introduced Lori to new experiences, including holidaying on Noosa’s Hastings Street when it was a strip of bitumen in the sand. After they wed, Lori and Barrie went in search of success in Outback Queensland where they worked as a ringer and governess and later went on to buy the famous Blue Heeler Hotel in Kynuna. The pub tested their strength, but they overcome adversities to put the town on the map as a tourist destination. The main attraction was their home-grown entertainment that included Barrie holding up tourist coaches with a shotgun and cracking a cigarette out of Lori’s mouth, often for the benefit of the Royal Flying Doctor Service. This all came to an end when they buried their 20-year-old son who was killed by a drunk driver. This tragic event was too much and they returned to South-East Queensland. Following Barrie’s death, Lori went on to travel the world and continue her search for personal success.

Download or read book Children of the Labouring Poor written by Eileen Wallace and published by Univ of Hertfordshire Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronicling the contributions children made towards their families' livelihoods in hard times, this detailed record catalogs the high price children had to pay--sacrificing their health and education--while employed in agriculture, chimney sweeping, straw-plaiting, silk-throwing, papermaking, and brick making in 19th-century Hertfordshire, England. This enlightening history demonstrates that the poor conditions in factories and mills, as well as in household chimneys, contributed to the many diseases and injuries that afflicted these young laborers. While there are examples of innovative manufacturers such as John Dickinson, who built respectable housing for his employees, the overall picture that emerges during this period is one in which Hertfordshire's children arduously struggled to make ends meet.
