Looking for a good book to read?
Do you love memoir and stories from the past?
Never Forget is a collection of incredible true World War II stories including two stories about New Zealand servicemen and four stories about children of war from the Netherlands, Dutch East Indies, Poland and the UK who later came to New Zealand.
The Long Way Home is the the story of an underprivileged British boy, plucked from the slums of Newcastle-upon-Tyne with his two brothers, and sent to an Australian farm school in 1950 under the Child Migrant Scheme.
Print copies of Never Forget are available from this website.
eBook versions of Never Forget and The Long Way Home are available on Amazon.
