EBOOK

This book is for anyone who has ever felt trapped, stuck, given away their power, suffers from low self-esteem, or finds it hard to say no.

It is the story of the Author’s life-long search for love and acceptance in all the wrong places, joining a religious cult at age the age of fifteen, followed by two abusive relationships. However through all of this she eventually came to realise that the cage she was imprisoned in was one of her own construction. The good news was that she alone held the keys to her freedom. Her story points the way out of the traps of cycles of abuse, victimhood, destructive habits and thought patterns inherent in so many people who just want to be loved and accepted.

The reader is taken on a journey of self-discovery so they can free their own inner tiger, identifying their self-imposed cage and the bars that keep them imprisoned, such as:

  • COMPLACENCY AND APATHY
  • THE CYCLE OF ABUSE AND VICTIMHOOD
  • DESTRUCTIVE HABITS AND THOUGHT PATTERNS
  • ADDICTIONS
  • CO-DEPENDENCY AND ENABLING
  • DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY
  • LOW SELF-ESTEEM AND SELF-DOUBT
  • FEAR

About the Author

Christina (not her real name) is a typical Australian woman, raised by loving, middle-class Christian parents, however her story is anything but typical. Despite her Christian upbringing, her longing for a deeper spiritual connection and unconditional love caused her to make questionable life decisions throughout her search.

My reason for writing this book is not for self-promotion or money, but hopefully to empower other women (and men) who want to free themselves as I did. I just wish I had read something like this when I was young… I would have made very different decisions!

PAPERBACK

The German Teacher

Into a valley deeply divided by war, prejudice and loyalties, arrives Audrey Douglas, a young teacher. It is January 1917 and this her  first appointment, to replace all vestiges of German language and culture from the former one teacher school in the Barossa Valley township of Langestal.

She learns the body of her predecessor,Helmut Heinrich, was found the day before her arrival – two months after he had retired and was supposed to have returned to Adelaide.

Most of the menfolk of Langestal have been interned and the resultant hostility and mistrust between their families and the rest of the community are palpable.

So… was the old teacher murdered? It transpires many had a motive – but who and why? Why was he found in a derelict vineyard, no one reporting him missing?

Audrey and local police constable, Jim Boyd, unite to solve the mystery while facing demons and horrors of their own.

The Longest Goodbye

A daughter’s journey caring for a parent with dementia. 

Experience the high and lows of a mother and daughter’s dementia journey, from diagnosis to aged care. In a world where nearly every person I meet knows someone or has a loved one with dementia, this book has been written from first hand experience to provide insights and lessons learned into the world of dementia. This book isn’t about having all the answers, if only dementia was that simple.

It is my hope that the information in this book will assist people to understand and communicate more effectively with their loved ones and most importantly, cherish every moment.

When people asked Kerry what she did for a career, she always answered ‘I change people’s lives,’ referring to her role as a facilitator and corporate trainer for over 35 years. After documenting her mother’s 10 year dementia journey as a cathartic way to deal with the highs and lows of the unknown around dementia, she realised this was another way she could change people’s lives. Having said goodbye numerous times over the years, ‘The Longest Goodbye’ was created.
