This collection of short stories from Australia will have you mesmerised as you move from crocodiles to churches, from kitchens to the kindertransport of World War II. This is a compelling read with a brilliant sense of comedic timing. You have met the people here in these stories at some other time, in some other place.What would I say if I could speak to them now? Perhaps these two poems , which are straight from my heart.I wish I had had the awareness of what they did for me when they were still here, but in my faith I believe they can see what I've now written.Please, feel free to ponder these free poems, and imagine what you would say to the people who raised you up. Enjoy, and let me know if you liked them.
