Dusty and other stories

In this collection of short stories and verse, well-known Coonawarra wine identity Doug Balnaves shares recollections drawn from his long association with and love for rural South Australia.

The stories – humorous, reflective and poignant – reflect both the joys and the heartbreaks of country life. Doug also wittily points up differences between country and city, and pokes gentle fun at trying characters from all walks of life.

This book is a lovely reminder that telling stories is our way of making sense of the world. There is something in this for everyone. – Jessica Alice. Director, Writers SA

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.
