Sepia: If Only He Hadn't. If Only She Had

'This is a good story that needs to be told.'

EMERITUS PROFESSOR GARY CREW

Can you achieve redemption when political extremist indoctrination leads to the death of your only friend?

Spanning continents and decades the fates of Sigrid, her brother Heinz, and his friend Werner, are interwoven by a sepia photograph.

Will the lifelong puzzle surrounding this image be revealed to Sigrid?-If only she had. In an era of historic turmoil Heinz's worldly-wise attitude contrasts Werner's compliance which serves as a timeless account of being swept along with the current-If only he hadn't.

Historical fiction blended with contemporary from World War II to the present day. This depicts the young men forced into a war they did not understand or want to be a part of.

The notion of overcoming past torments with an iconic 'fair-go' attitude shows that with reflection and remorse, redemption may be possible.

'It's a well-thought-out story with everything coming full circle with a surprise ending.'

DONNA MUNRO

'The novel is also a reminder of the power of the human spirit to overcome trauma of the past, hence moving on to a positive future.'
