Belle couldn't find a job after University.

The rest is history.

The astonishing real story of a daughter’s search for her own past and the desperate mother who gave her up

 

‘I lit the candle and prayed for my birth mother, asking God to take care of her.

It was as if I had made some kind of connection with her, even at such a young age, I found it difficult to understand, but I always feared that she was in danger and needed my prayers.

It was the only thing at the time that I could do for her.

I feared that she might be coming to some harm and that she was not happy, but I was helpless and had nobody to talk to about my feelings.

Billy Hughes: Prime Minister And Controversial Founding Father Of The Australian Labor Party by Aneurin & William Hughes.

 

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop *-* Book exchange #Pattaya

 

Billy Hughes served as Australia's Prime Minister between 1915 and 1923; a time of great change (between the Great War and the start of the Great Depression).

This definitive biography fully examines the life of one of our prolific leaders.

Not only exploring his life as a young boy and his relationship with his wife and family, it will also look at those aspects of his term which we may not know a great deal about.

Billy Hughes founded the CSIRO in 1915, he was a member of the Australian House of Representatives for 51 years; he founded the Australian Labor Party.

He had 101 secretaries (still a record!)... and much, much more.

A beautifully-packaged biography of one of the most controversial leaders in our Australia's short history.
