And while Jenna grows in confidence and many come to value highly what she has to offer her church and community, some, including close colleagues, are not so supportive.

All the Days of My Life
Keeping the faith in a new country
This is the sequel to ‘Heléna', but can also be read as a ‘stand alone' novel.
Heléna arrives in Sydney after a long sea voyage, and is sent first to a migrant camp at Bathurst, where she is told there is little chance of pursuing her music career in her new country. She begins work in a factory in Brisbane, but eventually moves to Sydney, where new friends help her to find her feet and pursue her dreams. In the years that follow, Heléna experiences great joy but also deep trials, yet manages to hold onto her faith in God, encouraging others in the process to come to terms with their own past and move on.
Inspired by the life of a post-war Czech immigrant to Australia, this story seeks to give hope and courage to all who read it to continue trusting God throughout their own life journeys.
