Book description
Heartbreaking, funny and searingly honest, Susan Duncanà  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 à Â- and love à Â- 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 ità  s also about mothers and
daughters, as Susan confronts her motherà  s new frailty and her own
role in what has always been a difficult relationship. In turns funny
and moving Susan Duncanà  s beautifully crafted memoirs remind us to
honour what matters in life, and to disregard what really doesnà  t.
After a 25-year career spanning radio, newspaper and magazine
journalism, including editing two of Australia's top selling women's

of her husband and brother. After struggling to begin again, she finally
found her own patch of paradise on earth only to discover it might
already be too late when she was diagnosed with cancer herself. Today
Susan lives with her second husband, Bob, on the shores of Pittwater
atTarrangaua, the beautiful home built for poet Dorothea Mackellar in
1925. Susan's bestselling memoir,Salvation Creek, and its sequel,The
House at Salvation Creek,were huge bestsellers. Susan is also the author
of the beautifully illustrated coffee table book A Life on Pittwater and
