|summary=Violet Prater is 83 and she's decided to tell us her story. She knows that there are grammar and spelling errors, but she wants to tell the story ''her'' way without any interference from an editor. I can understand that and I recognise the ''honesty'' behind her words. Her story's important because it illustrates that child abuse can extend beyond beatings and sexual abuse.

|summary=Sometimes you read about a particularly exciting time in an author's life but later you find yourself wondering how they're doing, how life worked out for them. Since I read [[Round the Bend: From Luton to Peru to Ningaloo, a Search for Life After Redundancy by Alistair McGuinness]]about eighteen months ago I've often wondered how he and Fran were doing in Australia and I was delighted when ''Half a World Away'' landed on my desk. When we left Ali and Fran they'd had an exciting and eventful year during which they'd travelled through Central and South America and then on to Africa, but they were planning to settle down in Australia. Don't worry if you haven't read ''Round the Bend'' as both books read well as stand alones and you can always go back to the first book later, can't you?
