About this ebook
Book six in this series follows the lives of two families descended from settlers who arrived at Cockburn Sound in 1833.
Ambrose Whittiker and his son, Benjamin, continue farming at Chadora. Benjamin’s fiancée Patricia Webb is knocked down by a car which causes her to become blind and she refuses to see Benjamin.
Sister Elizabeth Whittiker, working in the Bunbury Hospital meets Connor Beck. During the floods of 1946, the Preston River washes the bridge away at Picton Junction and Connor, while rescuing people is reported as missing.
Alexander Whittiker marries Evelyn Chadwick, also a member of the USA Air Corp. They marry in New York in 1949 and are transferred to Hawaii, after the Second World War.
Friends of the Whittikers, Connie and Charles Morgan, return to the city from Kalgoorlie, keeping contact with Connie’s nephew, Ronald Murphy, a descendant of the Murphy family who befriended the Whittikers in 1833.
Connie’s and Charles’ life is mayhem when their daughter Winnie announces her wedding plans, and news that a son, Godfrey and his girlfriend are expecting a baby, adds to Connie’s menopause problems and leads to depression.

My writing career began in 1999 when I was led to write a children's book. A few years earlier I was working as a Library Assistant in a high school and soon discovered that a number of young teenagers had reading difficulties and that there was no suitable material for them to read. This was the seed that grew a few years later when I was walking regularly in an effort to lose weight when I heard a voice tell me to write a children's book. My reaction was, "No way. I'm not good at that sort of thing and where would I start." Feeling smug I continued home and tried to put the idea out of my mind. A few days later the Reader's Digest arrived in the letterbox and in it was a course for Writing for Children. I almost died."Over the next six months I completed the course and then had the confidence to join a local writing group. Since then I've have had success entering both local and national competitions. I now teach classes as a volunteer and enjoy passing the knowledge on to other authors.I have three adult children and five adult grandchildren.
