Descripción

Pam is in her mid-seventies, widowed and hiding from the world behind a caustic sense of humour. Her health is declining, and she’s afraid of dying alone, but her most pressing concern is complaining to the council about her waterlogged garden. When Pam’s ten-year-old neighbour, Charlotte, is foisted upon her, a tentative friendship begins to unfurl, cracking open Pam’s hard exterior. But the puddles in the garden become pools, and then sinkholes. Nowhere seems safe. With no help coming, Pam and Charlotte can only shelter in place for so long – eventually, they know they must attempt to navigate a catastrophically altered world. The Water Takes is a work of astonishing literary imagination with the urgent page-turning propulsion of a thriller. Full of surprises and revelations, with a sense of humanity that is never clichéd or sentimental, The Water Takes will make you laugh and cry – and it will stay with you forever.

Unspoken #author Denise Fletcher

In the final week before a federal election, political adviser Francis McGuire is tasked with one job: launching the Opposition’s flagship health policy. Every detail is in place. Until the party’s ruthless campaign strategist decides to sabotage it. When his plan backfires, Francis is made the scapegoat. Publicly shamed and hunted by the press, she flees to a small town on Western Australia’s south coast ― the same place she escaped after her father’s fatal car accident years earlier. But what awaits her is far more dangerous than political betrayal: organised crime; corruption reaching the highest office in the land; a coldblooded contest for power and control; and a murder that threatens to fracture the nation itself. As enemies close in, Francis must decide how much she’s willing to risk to expose the truth. Can she do that – or will the truth remain Unspoken?

Walk in the Spirit #author Everald Compton

Walk in the Spirit: A page turning novel of people who walk with the Man Drawing on a lifetime of experience, Everald Compton AO and Neill Florence offer a novel grounded in compassion, humility, and the belief that our capacity to do good is not measured by religion or doctrine, but by how we treat one another and contribute to our communities. Set in contemporary Australiam the novel follows people from different walks of life as they navigate belief, doubt, interfaith friendship, and service — a true reflection of Australia's proud multicultural society. It asks poignant questions about religion beyond fear and punishment, and about how spiritual values can be lived honestly in a modern world for the benefit of our shared culture. This is not a sermon, not a conventional thriller. It is a calm, generous novel that invites reflection and conversation — particularly for readers questioning institutional religion while still seeking meaning, purpose, and connection. Walk in the Spirit is a story of our time, shaped by nearlu two hundred years of lived experience, and guided by the enduring conviction that a more compassionate world begins with how we choose to walk with others.

She Who Remembers #author Megan Dalla-Camina

She Who Remembers: Awakening feminine wisdom in a world ready for her return More than the burnout, the endless striving, the quiet ache of disconnection. More than the roles she’s performed, the versions of herself she’s outgrown, the world that taught her she wasn’t enough. In this tender and timely book, best-selling author, PhD researcher, and feminine wisdom teacher Megan Dalla-Camina guides readers on a profound journey of remembrance. Drawing from decades of leadership work, personal spiritual practice, and academic research in women’s spirituality, she invites us to awaken the inner knowing that has never been lost – only forgotten. Blending soulful storytelling, cultural reflection, and spiritual insight, She Who Remembers offers a path to reclaim what has always belonged to us: our voice, our power, our truth. Through feminine codes of intuition, embodiment, devotion, presence, and the rhythm of our cycles and seasons, readers are gently guided back to the source of their own innate wisdom. This is not a book of instruction. It’s a book of awakening and initiation. One that reminds us we were never meant to do this alone. That remembering is a collective act.

ROW Your Business to Health #author Elizabeth Blackley

Healthy people; healthy outcomes. While employment is essential for survival today, it rarely holds the highest honour in our priorities, and the traditional notion of work-life balance oversimplifies a much more complex reality. We need to move beyond the industrial-era model that shaped our current systems and begin designing work cultures based on what we know supports, and what hinders, human performance. This book invites readers to reconsider how the experience of work is formed - from the rhythms influencing daily life to the environments that affect behaviour, energy, and clarity. Grounded in behavioural science and systems thinking, it explores the impact of building workplaces around the conditions in which people genuinely thrive. A Return on Wellness (ROW) occurs when investment in people strengthens clarity, energy, and psychological safety; these are the drivers of resilience and consistent performance. Organisations that cultivate these conditions gain steadier results, stronger engagement, and cultures able to meet complexity with confidence. For those reimagining the future of work, this is an offering of practical and human insights that align culture, environment, and performance. When applied deliberately, the business can leverage their ROW and sow sustainable results. Let's build businesses where people and performance thrive together.

The Parenting Paradox #author Dr Jenny Brown

The Parenting Paradox: Loving Our Children by Giving Them Space to Grow Many devoted parents instinctively step in to protect and guide their children yet struggle knowing when to step back. While "helicopter parenting" is widely discouraged, parents are often left without clear, practical alternatives. In The Parenting Paradox: Loving Our Children by Giving Them Space to Grow, Dr. Jenny Brown offers a new perspective--not about loving less, but about shifting the anxious energy that often comes with deep parental care to a more constructive type of love. Dr. Brown sheds light on the cultural forces shaping today's intensive parenting, revealing how well-meaning advice can often undermine a parent's growth and confidence. Through real-life experiences and professional insights, she challenges the message that constant intervention is necessary for a child to flourish and instead provides a thoughtful, lasting approach to fostering independence. Rather than offering a quick fix or the latest parenting trend, The Parenting Paradox provides a sustainable path forward. Dr. Brown helps parents navigate their own fears while giving their children space to build confidence and resilience. And in creating that space, parents also grow, gaining clarity in their role so they can become the loving leaders they aspire to be.
