  “Ferocious psychic need and volcanic energy drive this combined memoir, detective story and travelogue” from the author of The Female Eunuch (The New Yorker).   After her father died, influential feminist writer and public intellectual Germaine Greer realizes how little she knows about him. She decides to track the life of her father, an Australian intelligence officer during World War II, to uncover the roots of his secrecy and distance. As she painstakingly assembles the jigsaw pieces of the past, Greer discovers surprising secrets about her father, her family, and herself.   During her three-year quest, Greer travels from England to Australia, Tasmania, India, and Malta; searches through scores of genealogical, civil, and military archives; and delves into the memories of the men and women who may—or may not—have known Reg Greer.   Yet the heart of her “lyrical but brutal elegy” is her own emotional journey, as the startling facts behind her father’s façade force her to painfully examine her own notions of truth and loyalty, family and obligation (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).   “Anyone who has done this kind of search will identify with Ms. Greer’s frustration, admire her persistence, laugh at her accuracy and rejoice in her discoveries.” —The New York Times Book Review   “The deeply affecting climax is a remarkable feat of family reconstruction.” —Publishers Weekly

  The book chronicles, in poetic form, the life of a woman who in three distinct and significant life events feels she is "the other woman" to her husband, to her child, and even to herself rather than the woman who is "good enough" just as she is. Not until she loses her eyesight does she finally allow herself to stop putting herself aside and be who she always has been…a strong, insightful, creative, resilient, faith driven, funny, and fun-loving woman; a Resurrected Woman!
  
  Additionally, this beautifully written and beautifully designed memoir allows the reader to find connections in some of the poems through Personal Reflection opportunities if desired.

  Thrust into a hostile world, and unable to comprehend the language, Heike, an immigrant and 'enemy' child, struggles to understand the English islanders as she adjusts to the new identity demanded of her.
  
  Intent on escaping the traumas of growing up in fascist Germany and the horrors of its post-war desolation, Heike's mother will marry the charismatic English officer she met during the Allied occupation of Lüneburg. Her daughter, who will be known as 'Susanna' from now on, must be kept innocent of her mother's past and grow up to be English.
  
  As this memoir of displacement, national character, and misunderstandings unfolds, S M Saunders becomes the detective in her own story, searching for the truth that will reconcile her double identity and conflicting emotions.
  
  But this is far from a misery memoir. This is a tale of love—the narrator's intense love for the extraordinary and eccentric English people whose positive influences not only shaped her and her mother, but also lent her the strength to come to terms with both her own identity and with her mother's complex, harrowing story.
  Susanna: the Making of an English Girl explores a childhood that is sad, beautiful, funny, rich in detail and marked, above all, by love.

  The Life of Saint Monica

  This book is above all things the story of a mother. But it is also the story of a noble woman—a woman who was truly great, for the reason that she never sought to be so. Because she understood the sphere in which a woman's work in the world must usually lie, and led her life truly along the lines that God had laid down for her; because she suffered bravely, forgot herself for others, and remained faithful to her noble ideals, she ruled as a queen amongst those with whom her life was cast. Her influence was great and far-reaching, but she herself was the last to suspect it, the last to desire it, and that was perhaps the secret of its greatness. The type is rare at the present day, but, thank God! there are Monicas still in the world. If there were more, the world would be a better place. - Summary from the book
