REPRINTING

Audrey's Big Secret

Audrey Barlow has woken up in the dead of night and needs to go to the dunny. The only problem is, the dunny is out yonder down the garden path. And if that isn’t bad enough, Audrey sees what she thinks is a ghost! It’s not such a far-fetched idea, especially as her twin sisters, Esther and Pearl, who tragically died at birth are buried out the back. But Audrey soon discovers that it wasn’t a ghost she spotted at all, but a young girl, her own age called Janet. Audrey soon learns that Janet has run away from a mission and together they must think of a way to keep Janet from being taken again.

In Audrey’s Secret Audrey faces her biggest dilemma yet – how can she protect her friend Janet and help her find the family that she so dearly misses. Audrey’s Secret is about loss and missing the things you love but no longer have. It offers a glimpse into the tragedy of the stolen generation, through the eyes of a child. It is tender and heart-felt. Readers will love Audrey all over again with her plucky determination to see that something so wrong must be made right.

I love books, reading and writing them. It’s fun and I can pretend to be the characters in my stories – like acting on paper. I hope my readers will be moved to laugh, think and sometimes cry.
