Published May 2014



Women face many kinds of oppression through the centuries. The author takes you to a journey of modern day oppression.
This story traces the life of Nadine, a girl born to Indian parents. It embodies the issues of a Kiwi girl, Nadine, growing up in conflicting cultures and getting lost in her environment.
Nadine grows up to overcome her problems to help women who suffered from physical and mental violence, domestic violence, rape, pornography, swinging, incest, bullying, sex with minors, sex slavery and human trafficking.

Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it.
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

Alphabe-Thursday letter N for nest

Photo: an unusual bird's nest.


Once a bird made a nest at our norfolk pine that Mother had planted as a Christmas tree. Mother brought the nest inside the house to the aghast of Dad. Dad made her take the tree downstairs to the garden.

My very smart mum removed the nest and tied it to another plant in the garden. Mum warned us not to go to the plant. We never checked if the bird rejected the nest.

Alphabe-Thursday letter M for mum.

There I acknowledged a wonderful woman, Connie Ang to be my Kai Ma. This is the photo I have in my cover photo, Many have asked if she is my mum. Yes, I chose her to be my mum.

When Kirsten started this , I supported her. Andrew stayed in NICU for 55 days. I was with him 24/7. I was just drawn and I forgot to buy anything for him to wear. It would be so good it Kirsten was around then.

No Smacking Law.

"The police will get you." a dilemma faced by parents when they feel they have a necessity to discipline their kids. We have the No smacking rule here in NZ, and I understand in Oz too.

A friend's husband was jailed because it was reported he physically abused his daughter in a playground in front of other parents.
