1 y separately published work icon The Love That Remains Susan Francis , Crows Nest : Allen and Unwin , 2020 18470807 2020 single work autobiography

'An extraordinary memoir about secrets, life's shocking twists and unconditional love.

'How could I write about the importance of truth and not tell the whole truth myself?

'After twenty years spent searching for her biological parents, 52-year-old Susan Hull unexpectedly meets the great love of her life - a goldminer named Wayne Francis. He is a gentle giant of a man, who promises Susan the world.

'Two years later, they throw in their jobs, marry and sell everything they own, embarking on an incredible adventure, to start a new life in the romantic city of Granada, where they learn Spanish and enjoy too much tapas. In love, and enthralled by the splendour of a European springtime, the pair treasure every moment together.

'Until a shocking series of events alters everything.

'Riveting, heartfelt and remarkably honest, Susan Francis The Love that Remains explores unconditional love and the lies we tell to safeguard our happiness.'  (Publication summary)
