AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Be prepared to embark on a journey of a young girl who faced insurmountable challenges while growing up in a remote village, bereft of any luxuries in life. Join her journey from a state of complete deprivation of life's bare-essentials and riches due to extreme poverty. Follow her adventures as she is transported to new vistas of her adopted country - of the land down under she now calls home, AUSTRALIA.

'This semi-autobiographical novel is a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit to convert failures to success, sadness to happiness.

'Feel the raw emotion of the young protagonist as she embarks through life's journey, armed with nothing but sheer determination and the indomitable desire to succeed.

'Experience her journey from the raw but bucolic beauty of the small village to the sophistication of Australia.

'As a reader, you will enjoy the description of scents, sounds and sights of the universe as seen and heard by her.

'Feel her sense of despair, her hopelessness as she embarked on life's journey devoid of human riches and comfort.

'The novel is a combination of personal experiences with fictional elements to capture the reader's imagination.

'You will be captivated by her journey; feel her joy in her episodes of triumph and share her tears in moments of despair.

'It is a privilege to introduce you to this semi-autobiographical novel that reaches out to you, the reader, to share a young girl’s dramatic journey through life, from the depths of despair to the pinnacle of success.

'Lastly, the novel is dedicated to the human universal capacity to DREAM and TO HOPE.'  (Publication summary)
