Description
¿Escaping death at the hands of her abusive husband, an unexpected encounter on a flight from Sydney to Perth changes Louise's life forever!
Leaving New Zealand for a life in Australia, Louise dreams of exploring the globe and immersing herself in exciting challenges. It's the force that drives her adventurous young spirit and the prospect of an affluent future.
Marriage comes swiftly after meeting Ross Green and settling in Perth. She becomes an accomplished business woman, founding a teaching facility for computer and internet technology. A twist of fate sees the couple bound for New Guinea, prior to Independence, where they work for a few years before relocating to Sydney.
Louise establishes a second I.T. operation with hopes of creating an interior design venture when the Greens renovate their new Narrabeen home. To friends and colleagues, the couple's life appears perfect but for Louise, that couldn't be further from the truth. Ross's seething assaults compound to a head, brutally turning her world upside down in one fateful night. The fragile line between life and death is closer than she could ever have imagined.
Her shocking secret now revealed, Louise learns to accept the devastating consequences of Ross's actions in the arms of an unexpected gentleman. Mentoring an impoverished single mother and her son alters their lives completely but will Louise's selfless act ever bring her the happiness she so desperately yearns?

Anne Sinclair is a New Zealand born Australian with a passion for travel. After residing in Canada for a year, the author returned to Auckland before heading to Australia for a working holiday. Her then partner, Bob, joined her in Surfers Paradise and after a year they went back to their hometown of Auckland where they married before again returning to live on the Gold Coast. Taking four years out of a forty-year residency, they worked in Lae and Rabaul, New Guinea. Back on the Gold Coast once more, they established businesses, raised their family and involved themselves in Surf Lifesaving and Rugby Union. Following retirement and the death of her husband, the author moved north to the Sunshine Coast and at the request of family, wrote of her husband's life. This launched Anne into the novel which she describes as 'faction'. Now an octogenarian, her yearning desire to travel and visit more of the world, remains.
