A child growing up in the 60's, the world in a state of flux, having witnessed 2 world wars, trying to regain some balance of normality.

Growing up in Australia was exhilarating in a brand-new world, having witnessed the first man landing on the moon; a world before the arrival of computers and modern-day technology. It's the story of Marie Anne's youth and getting a coveted Scholarship for a University degree, as many other women of her generation.
The story of reaching for her dreams, and like a talisman, the wondrous magical sight of the Sydney Opera House in view.
The engaging story of life as seen from a young woman's eyes, playing the Game of Life, choices and allies to be made, making the best possible choices for her life, finding her husband, the soul-mate she was wishing for, to expand her future and to see the whole wide world as she hoped.
