    About this ebook

    In 1968, the peaceful country of Czechoslovakia became occupied by the Russian army. They crossed the borders with their heavy cannons and machine guns, causing riots and chaos and instilling fear in the countrys citizens, making life unbearable. Escape to Australia is a powerful and emotional journey that follows the incredible Mayer family and their decision to leave their country, facing challenges along the way in order to establish a better life.

      I was promised a girl held her glossy image, shatterable, ice skating on a Soviet pond. I’d never seen snow but for the cut out paper flakes hung in school hallways. I only knew rain as intermittent confusion. Los Angeles in the ’80s. We set fire to

      Sep 29, 2020

      Knocking on my hotel-room door on the last morning of our holiday in Italy, my big sister, Katrin, 50, surprised me with a biker jacket made of buttery-soft leather. ‘It’s your birthday present,’ she smiled. ‘You know I can’t resist getting my little
