Inhaltsangabe

A hit on the head with a pencil case began Paul Wilson's lifelong battle against the system and the pencil-pushers who tormented him... but nothing could break his indomitable spirit. Paul was a fifth generation, native-born white Australian, and a stolen child. Bureaucrats stole him twice. So-called 'women of God' and a misguided carer stole his identity, his heritage and his self-respect. Journey into the home and lives of a battling Aussie bush family and weep over cruel injustice that breaks a mother's heart and kills a father's soul. Witness child abuse and deprivation in an almost Dickensian world. Meet foster parents whose dedication and caring gives orphans and waifs hope for a future. Follow Paul's struggle through adult life, sharing his and his family's pains and joys. Celebrate his triumphs. Mourn his foolishness. Admire his strength and courage as he fights continuing injustice, haunted by demons from his past and nursing an insatiable thirst for revenge. A story that illustrates the beauty and strength of the human spirit and the power of family love.

Venera Concetta was born in Brisbane of Sicilian migrants who arrived in Australia in the aftermath of World War II. She studied psychology and ethnology at the University of Queensland, and later went on to travel widely. Fly Francesca Fly is Venera's debut novel, but she has been writing for many years.

She lives just outside Brisbane where she tends her garden, writes and cooks with her grandchildren.
