Crying Mummy'S Tears

Twelve-year-old Lilly had a problem. She could not take it to her widowed mother. Mum was in no position to help. Lilly figured out a solution with the help of a friend. Their answer would have life-changing consequences. Supported and challenged by her Christian faith, she overcame poverty. She endured homelessness, child abuse, domestic violence, workplace bullying, racism and cultural dictatorship. Her journey through life, influenced by her career in the nursing profession, takes her from her birth country Singapore to England and Saudi Arabia before she settles and finds happiness in Australia. Her rags-to-riches true-life story spans six decades. Frances Joseph, Nurse And Midwife. Member of Federation of Australian Writers North West Tasmania (FAWNW)"Life wasn't meant to be easy". How frequently have we heard and used this phrase to describe some obstacle that has arisen daily? Yet here we read of a life fraught with more hardships and challenges than most of us today will ever experience in our lifetime. Initially seen through the eyes of a child, the daily issues that face many people today are graphically described by the author as she tells of her early life in a poverty-stricken situation. This girl was able to survive and eventually flourish into adulthood, which is astounding, given the challenges that she faced early in her life, often hourly. Written with simple honesty and without self-pity, this is a very readable account of a life that began in conditions that most adults would dread. Learning by sheer necessity how to survive each day, by whatever means, while attempting to portray an image of normality would challenge many adults today. Pete Stratford. Author and Member of FAWNW.Honest, direct and hard-hitting, without a word of embellishment or self-pity, "Crying Mummy's Tears" describes one woman's journey across the decades and around the world. That journey is also along life's twisting, sometimes rough and always unpredictable road. It is an inspirational story of steadfast faith, courage in adversity, and thankfulness for what most of us take for granted. Graham R. Meyers. B. Sc (Nursing) Grad. Dip Trop.
