To find freedom, you must leave behind everything you've ever known. It is 2011. You want nothing more than to be a journalist in Somalia like your aunty. But the truth can be dangerous--and when you and your little sister are left alone, you find yourself facing life-and-death choices at every turn. Can you escape a terrorist organization and find a safe place to call home? You'll be asked to cross a desert on foot, hide below deck in a leaky boat, and put your life in the hands of people smugglers. At every turn, the choice is yours. How far will you go for freedom?
A fantastic night of excellent songs accompanied by guitar and banjo. Everybody from 10 to 70+ years in attendance. An attentive and engaged audience. Humble and adept performers playing original songs. And surrounded by books! This venue is like having a concert in your lounge room. What's not to love?
I originally listened to this as an audiobook, but there were so many ideas and quotable quotes that I wanted to go back to that I quickly decided to buy my own printed copy!
I think this would make a really interesting book club text as a conversation starter between trusted friends who want to go deeper with one another, especially for those who are dissatisfied with the status quo and looking for a spirituality that engages meaningfully with key issues of our time.
Easy to deal with, quick, efficient & friendly service. Very happy with product
What an amazing night of music. We laughed, we pondered, and we felt the challenges that life brings us with these two wonderful songwriter/performers. 5 stars all round.
A rather chunky text with some fabulous ideas and highly informative explanations/ introductions. A colleague brought this book to my attention and I borrowed her copy. I had only read approx a quarter and decided that I needed my very own copy. This book needs time, focus and attention to be fully appreciated, absorbed and put into practice. I am definitely looking forward to learning more about creative ways to support mine and my children's mental health AND to encorporating suggestions from the authors into my daily/weekly/monthly routine. So far, the creative processes I have read about seem reasonably easy to implement. I think every household would benefit from this book!

I really enjoyed this book, especially as I read it after a recent visit to the beautiful, majestic Blue Mountains. The local references in the book made the story all the more engaging. A light easy read with an interesting plot. It’s not believable but that does not detract from the entertainment, it is after all a fictional novel.
