Mort Fuller is dying. But rather than pass away gracefully, he falls in love, starts a gold mine and makes life difficult for other people.
In this extraoridnary story of the eccentric Fuller family, Helen Townsend weaves a tale of love and sorrow, hope and triumph. Set in the seaside town of Kookaburra Bay one summer, Heroic measures is a novel of great charm that will surprise and delight. (Publisher's blurb, back cover).
