"A woman’s journey of spirit and strength and the impact of domestic violence. Based on a true story, set in Melbourne, this book spans fifty years from the 1940s to the end of the 20th century. The trauma of domestic violence, experienced during Jenny and David’s childhood impacts the life choices both siblings make. David follows in his father’s footsteps and Jenny enters into a dysfunctional marriage. Inspired by true events, it illustrates what happens is not as important as what we do about it. It highlights Jenny’s strength and spirit and her inner journey while coming to terms with her past." - Readings.com.au

Reflecting on the Power of Story & the Conviction of Two Gifted Tellers; Noah Berlow & Szilva Vecserdy - 11am, Saturday, 25th March 2017

Noah Berlow Noah opened as first speaker, performing a 360 degree turn and then thanking us for his time...at 45 seconds, we could not believe his presentation was over! This, of course, was not the case. It was a clever introduction about the nature of storytelling and the expectations and hope...
