A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

How does a mother cope when she is forced to walk away from her three children and never see them again? 'Whisper My Secret' is the true story of a devoted mother who carried her heartbreaking secret to her grave. Myrtle is eventually rescued from her grief and despair by tall, dark and handsome George Rowley who fell in love with her, offering her romance and enduring love. Myrtle started a new life with George and had seven more children. She buried the grief of losing her first children deep within and kept her pain secret. JB Rowley, an award winning Australian author and one of Myrtle’s seven children by her second husband, tells the compelling story of her mother’s secret. Desperate to know how such a thing could happen to a caring mother, JB went on a journey to find out. It was a long time before she was able to work out that her mother kept her early life and her first family secret out of misplaced guilt and shame. To redress that, JB decided to tell the whole world her mother’s secret as a proud declaration that Myrtle did nothing deserving of guilt or shame. The ebook of this memoir has been a #1 best seller in Amazon's Adoption category.

Biographie de l'auteur

JB Rowley grew up in a small Australian town called Orbost in the state of Victoria. She spent her childhood chasing snakes and lizards down hollow logs, playing Hansel and Gretel in the bush with her brothers, climbing trees, searching the local rubbish tip for books to read and generally behaving like a feral child. To avoid her boisterous brothers she often escaped into the hayshed with a book. Stories and books played a significant part in her childhood. Favourite childhood authors included Enid Blyton, Charles Dickens and Beatrix Potter. As an adult JB has read a broad range of authors and continues to read prolifically although she now prefers audio books and ebooks. JB still lives in the state of Victoria but is now in the capital city of Melbourne where, when she is not writing, she works as an English tutor and an oral storyteller.
