A Backward Glance

Beverley Cowcher

 

A beautiful and gentle story of a branch of the Mainland family, beginning with their early years in Australia. After establishing their roots in country Victoria, the family migrated to the farming community of Narrogin, in Western Australia, and finally lived in Dunsborough and Busselton, which were very different then from the towns we know today.

A story of love, laughter, and sadness told with humour and self-deprecation as it journeys through a family’s history. Full of unsung heroes and real people doing everything they can to make life wonderful for their families and children, while contributing as much as they could to the fabric of the communities they were living in.

This is a story that will make you laugh and cry, and will leave you feeling better about the world.
