One Man's Daughter

by Jeanette Mangan

Set against the background of the challenging and unforgiving Australian outback, in the shadow of World War 2, this is a story of Love lost and Love found. We trace a young woman born to follow her father's love of breeding and training thoroughbred horses, but fate dealt her a tragic blow. A single mother, she sought to make a home for her and her son. Fate stepped in a second time, leaving her alone in a strange town, with 2 children and desperate to make a future for herself and her family. Those readers who have experienced True Love, will appreciate the delicate way the author brings to us the innocence and emotions of teenage love, growing to the stronger desires and needs of mature adults irreversibly in Love. This story is uniquely Australian with an insight into the life styles and social bigoted attitudes of the 1940's, 50's and 60's eras. For readers outside of Australia it will provide a true picture of lifestyle, language and customs. Numerous, well researched Australian historic events from that era are woven into the story. For Australian readers the characters will ring true and give you a smile, plus the nostalgia of a time in Australia's past which many of us experienced as young people. We hope you enjoy " One Man's Daughter "
