Synopsis

‘A Tale of Four Hemispheres’ is a highly engaging, thoughtful and extremely readable memoir about a man orphaned in infancy, who survived a childhood bedevilled by ill-health and went on to achieve world ranking as an athlete before moving to the Antipodes to open up a completely new chapter in his life. All the emotions of a full life are revealed here in elaborate detail that plunges you directly into John Sheldrick’s life. It’s a life that features twists and turns of fortune and many adventures. Albert Camus, the French existential writer, said that each of us is the sum of all of our decisions. This is certainly very true in John’s life.

    Dr Liz O’Riordan is a breast cancer surgeon who has battled against social, physical and mental challenges to practise at the top of her field. Under the Knife charts Liz’s incredible highs: performing like a couture dressmaker as she moulded and reshaped women’s breasts, while saving their lives; to the heart-breaking lows of telling ten women a day that they had cancer. 
     
    But this memoir is more than just an eye-opening look at the realities of training to be a female surgeon in a man’s world. In addition to this high-powered, high-pressured role, Liz faced her own breast cancer diagnosis, severe depression and suicidal thoughts, in tandem with commonplace sexual harassment and bullying. And by revealing how she coped when her life crashed around her, she demonstrates there is always hope.

    A gifted multi-sport athlete and a devout Roman Catholic, Derek Ruth was barely one month shy of his thirteenth birthday when he suffered a traumatic brain injury on the football field. As his family, friends, and even competitors gathered, they prepared for the worst while praying for a miracle, as Derek was on an eight-minute life-flight to the hospital where the heroic doctors would work to save his life. But while everyone waited for news, Derek was spending extended time with Jesus in heaven, who offered him a choice. 
      
    The Eight-Minute Flight is the remarkable true story of Derek’s spiritual journey as he moved from the football field to heaven and back home again.

    With a compelling urgency, Derek understands his purpose on earth, his close relationship with Mary and her son, Jesus, and desires to share how faith and family have allowed him to endure. An emotional true story of survival and the resilience of the human spirit, The Eight-Minute Flight provides hope and encouragement for readers that there is more to life than our time on earth.
