    Towards Iraq - A Pilgrimage on Foot

    Putting one foot in front of the other – it's not spectacular, it's not extraordinary, but it can lead us to extraordinary ends.
    
     
    
    These words are spoken to Hannah Denno during her 3000-mile walk across Europe, a journey where the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
    
     
    
    In April 2015, Hannah laced up her boots, hoisted her rucksack onto her back and set out from London towards Iraq, the country her grandfather came from, seeking connection with the land of her roots. The expedition was to become as much about traversing an emotional landscape as it was the physical terrain.
    
     
    
    Each day's tasks are unspectacular, but as she walks, she grapples with questions of national and individual identity and sees connections between her journey and the journeys made by others before her. And she never ceases to be blown away by the extraordinary kindness of strangers.
    
     
    
    When political winds alter the course of her journey, Hannah is led to make new discoveries that take her personal pilgrimage to unexpected places.
    
    "A cleverly balanced book, winding between European history and an individual family story."

    A mosaic of memories, events, and reflections about Dede Montgomery and her remarkable mother, with insights into the generations and circumstances they were born into that informed the women they became. 
    Dede Montgomery returns to her own roots in From First Breath to Last, and skillfully weaves her life with her mother’s in a touching tribute to family and what matters most in their lives. She meshes passages from her mother's memoir, journals, published book, and dissertation with her own memories and how her mother's journey influenced her own in a celebration of womanhood. 
    Patty Montgomery was born between the World Wars and was reborn in the 1960s and 1970s during the time women pushed through the barriers to independence and equality. She followed what she believed was the expected path for other women like her who were privileged by whiteness, education, and middle-class income. Until she couldn’t, and broke loose with support from some and criticism by others, while raising her only daughter to be self-confident and self-assured. 
    From First Breath to Last is a treat to readers of all ages looking to embrace the wisdom from two women told through entertaining stories, fairy tales, and the advice from lives well-lived.

    The inspirational true story of an Aussie bloke from the outback, crippled with depression, who challenges himself to swim the English Channel as a way of managing his mental health struggles. 
     
     
    Brendan Cullen manages Kars Station, a 10,000-head sheep property 65 kilometres outside Broken Hill, New South Wales. In 2022, despite his nearest beach being more than 600 kilometres away, he swam the English Channel. 
     
    Taking up swimming was part of Brendan's recovery from severe depression, an illness that had seen him cope in highly unhealthy ways – drinking, overwork, being emotionally absent – for years. But then he found the strength to walk through the doors of Broken Hill Hospital and ask for help. 
     
    After watching his brother compete in an open-water swim in 2015, a year later Brendan was doing the same. Despite it being exhausting and challenging, it made him feel vitally alive. In 2018 he happened to see an advertisement encouraging swimmers to take on the English Channel. A spark of an idea was lit. 
     
    Through COVID-19 restrictions, he trained for hours at dawn in the murky Menindee Lake system, and in icy local waters, determined to take on one of the world's most challenging ocean swims. And he did, completing the Channel crossing in 17 hours, after strong currents dragged him off course and extended his journey to 64 kilometres – almost double the shortest possible distance a swimmer might cover to make it across. 
     
    The Desert Swimmer shows the good that comes from facing challenges head on.

    Jose "Pepin" Almeida is an unlikely hero. He never acted in the movies, never threw the winning pass, never sat in high office. Even his involvement in the event that u-turned his life, the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, failed and became a national embarrassment. 
    He laments, "We were in a helpless and hopeless situation." But Pepin Almeida soon, out of necessity, created his own hope. Denied all tangible things- clothes, family, food, he discovered his soul, his only true possession.
