Publishers Description: The prospect of upheaval prompted Sunshine Coast local Gillian Boyer to reflect back on and record her adventurous life. Will the looming threat of the Traveston Dam cause her to yet again pack up and move on to unknown places? In 1930s China, Gillian's birth in the shadow of the golden pagoda foretold a long and lucky life. The arrival of a baby sister, however, coincided with the outbreak of WWII. The post-war years saw the family move to politically turbulent Africa where Gillian began her nursing training and met her future husband. Her recollections are lively and peppered with insights about the people and places she has lived in. We are shown a portrait, through sharp eyes, of a tumultuous time in modern world history. And, although the future of her current home is still uncertain, we are all the richer for having heard the tale that brought her here.
