Om den här e-boken

Heartbreaking, funny and searingly honest, Susan Duncan’s bestselling memoirs Salvation Creek and The House at Salvation Creek are now available in one special ebook edition.

Salvation Creek is the story of a woman who found the courage to not only walk away from a successful career and begin again, but to beat the odds in her own battle for survival and find a new life – and love – in a tiny waterside idyll cut off from the outside world.

Continuing the story of Salvation Creek, The House at Salvation Creek is about what happens when you open the door to life, adventure and love. But it’s also about mothers and daughters, as Susan confronts her mother’s new frailty and her own role in what has always been a difficult relationship.

In turns funny and moving Susan Duncan’s beautifully crafted memoirs remind us to honour what matters in life, and to disregard what really doesn’t.
