A Little Bit of the Past

Ivy May Wilce is also known as May, Mum, Ma ma, or Nanna, depending on who you talk to. She is a woman of incredible strength, respect, devotion, and compassion. As the wife of a Presbyterian minister (whose service extended over a 50 year period) May’s service to the Lord, His Church, and His people is inspiring. We are incredibly lucky that May has put pen to paper so that all those who love and admire her can treasure her recollections. This is a memoir put together for May’s family, although the stories and historical insights have and can be enjoyed broadly. As you read through you are sure to marvel at her incredible memory, her thoughtfulness in acknowledging the efforts of others, and the wonderfully full life that she and her husband Neville have lived.

Like a Dandelion in the Wind

Andrea endured many hardships in her life while travelling around Australia with her lovable rascal of a father. She was taught cunningness, survival, love, gambling, hunting and fishing, unlike any education you get from sitting in a classroom. Taken out of school at 13, married at 16 and a mother at 17. War and a traumatic birth of her second child only made her stronger. Evacuated to London, she spent two harrowing years trying to return to her beloved Australia. Once back, she fought the biggest battle of her life, saving her children from an evil spirit.

Her limited education would not deter her from documenting her life’s journey.

These are her own words, based on her memories. Any reference to anyone passed or living is purely coincidental.

PAPERBACK

I Choose Country

The fascinating memoirs of an authentic aussie man, his treasured family and life in the outback. A riveting story told with warmth, wisdom and humour.

Award winning Journalist: Lia Harris.

A true story of adventure and adversity from school in Adelaide to the wheat growing mallee country of Eyre Peninsula, to the Queensland racing industry, and on to the cattle industry in the Kimberley and the many adventures, achievements and pitfalls to overcome along the way. Spiced with international business in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia.

About the Author

I have always worked hard and tried to achieve and to accumulate an asset that my children could make use of and that they would be proud of also. Maybe I have been too focused on the material aspects of life and work instead of recognising the dangers of too casual an approach to the business side of any project and the greed of other parties I may have trusted and been involved with. (There are many of these). I have still not achieved all I wished for, but have lived a full life and am rich in experience, history and family.
