Legacies

Mickey and Katie share a strange bond; Mickey’s abuse of alcohol and drugs almost costs his life, and Katie’s alcoholic demon is Bob, her father and abuser.

As Mickey faces his mortality, he questions his sexuality, a battle he thought he’d won in his relationship with Jamie. When their one-year liaison crumbled, so did Mickey.

Katie fears her father’s threatening presence, always hyper-alert, her hands a daily reminder of his propensity for evil.

Soon, Mickey must face the women in his life – his sister who outed him, and his mother, who rejected him. Then another death rocks his world, and Mickey must seriously explore who he is and assume responsibility for his life.

On Katie’s 25th birthday, she must confront her fears and make vital decisions about her future, including the “blood money” inheritance that she doesn’t want, but Bob does.

This is a story of two compelling quests of the mind and spirit. Mickey, seeking to find his self-identity, accept his sexuality, and own his maturity. Katie, needing to feel safe, finding her inner courage, and escaping the stranglehold of her abusive father.

Their stories will warm your heart long after the last page.

Twenty Voices of 2020

In early 2020, life as we knew it changed.

In Twenty Voices of 2020, Jo Fuller takes us to one small corner of the world to see the human impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, sharing the stories of 20 people in her community in Melbourne, Australia, but in their words – the school principal, the policeman, the pilot, the nine-year-old school girl, the doctor who lives up the road.

Their stories tell of real events, real emotions, and they also tell of a greater shared story; that in forcing us to experience some things differently, 2020 offered us the chance to experience something more. Our gratitude for the small things, for the simple things, for the previously underappreciated and even unseen things deepened. Our sense of community evolved too, becoming stronger than many of us had ever known.

Like a thread, the stories of the 20 voices weave through our common experience of navigating a year that changed the world and in so doing, they ultimately stitch us together upon a fabric that is so much greater than ourselves alone.

Charles Washing & Racist Furniture

The history of Charles Washing, his family, and furniture business is fascinating reading. The plight of Charlie’s parents, a full-blood Chinaman and an 18-year-old English Jewess in the 1850’s, escaping their respective homelands and settling in Ararat, Victoria, is difficult to comprehend, but it’s true. Raising 10 kids against the odds, we follow the journey to Creswick, Melbourne and finally Perth where their sons, driven by Charles set up Washing Brothers Furniture Factory. The Factories Act was a desperate attempt by the Government to eradicate Asiatic businesses pressured by Unions and European businessmen. To survive meant risking everything by breaking the law, dodging government inspectors, and even beating the Supreme Court. It was the birth of racist furniture.

End of the Road

Becoming a Mallee Wife

At School we learnt about the mallee country in our lessons and I remember disctinctly thinking, “Why would anyone want to live up there?” It wasn’t portrayed in a very good light and seemed to my impressionable young mind the last place on earth one would want to live or farm in. I always said I would never live too far away from the sea anyway.

I ended up doing just that!

This book is an intimate slice of the history of living in the Mallee District. Deborah Hyde shares her real-life experiences with enthusiasm and humour; a true Australian gem!
