Ebook About Queensland, Australia 1936Sister Claire McAuliffe has been called from Dungarvan, County Waterford, to do God’s work in Jumaaroo, Queensland. Along with four other sisters she is charged with setting up a Catholic school for the education of the gold rush families. But life between the tropical Australian rainforest and azure ocean is far from the spectacular paradise it seems. Sister Claire finds life challenging in more ways than she can count, the heat, the terrifying creatures that lurk in every nook and cranny, the crocodiles and snakes, but far more worrying is the constant presence of the much loved mayor of Jumaaroo, Joseph McGrath. Why does a person so respected give Claire such cause for concern?Is it the cruel way he speaks about the Aboriginal people who live on the mission? A closed community run by a peculiar religious leader who seems to deeply resent the arrival of the nuns? As Claire learns of the manner in which the Bundagulgi are treated, she is forced to act, but nobody wants to upset the status quo, and a meddlesome nun suddenly is a dangerous one.Book Sisters of the Southern Cross Review :
Wow! Jean Grainger hit the jackpot when she and her family decided to spend a year in Australia. She always researches her books to the nth degree and she went well over that on this one. So many things to remember I think sometimes I went on the trip with her. Did you know they have a nut there that you can use for a clothespin without any modifications? Just pick it up off the ground and put it back there when you are done. All those things and bits are interesting, but the real grabber in this story were the people. The Irish nuns, though out of place in Australia were so unique within their own group they almost needed no other characters, But the story would have just been a travelogue without the wise Aboriginal man who was more than just a laborer and had been on a long winding trail before coming to know the nuns and educating them on the terrible segregation issues in the history of Australia and still today. And the mean mayor of the city was a real bad guy in many ways. And then the people who were afraid of the Catholics, but were trying their best to help the children who needed to be away from their parents in order to attend their school. I grew to know the people, the flora and fauna, the jungles and the deserts of Queensland, all in the 24 hours it took me to read the book. Not much sleep but the book was too good to put down. I highly recommend this book for those who have a heart for doing good and loving children and nature, but find it too long a trip to take from the other side of the world. I just can't fathom the thirty hour trip from my house, but I saw it all clearly through the eyes and writingng of my favorite author. Thank you, Jean, for another winner! Sisters of the Southern Cross is by Jean Grainger. Once more, Jean has managed to write a fantastic bool; but instead of it being set in Ireland, it is set in Australia. Jean and her family had traveled to Australia to explore the country for a year. Sounds like a fantastic journey in itself. While they were there, they found a museum in an old convent in Cookstown, Far North Queensland, Australia. In this museum was the story of the nuns who set up a school here and built the convent in the early 1900’s. From their story came Jean’s story of these nuns. Why did they come here? What problems did they have? Why did the head of the school become such a problem to the townspeople?Sister Claire McAuliffe was the head of the school and she set out to create the school in the form she believed her Uncle, Bishop William McAuliffe wanted it to be. First and foremost was no physical punishment. This immediately put her at loggerheads with Sister Gerard who was an elderly, sour, mean and cruel teacher. Second was to allow the students to learn through fun. Sister Mary did this with her music, Sister Helen with her extreme love of books and stories, and Sister Theresa through her love of life itself and hurling. Finally, to create a school without discrimination in a land where discrimination is immersed. White men had come in and taken over land that had belonged to the tribes and then set out to “civilize the savages.” She went to bat immediately for anyone who was Christian, no matter what faith, to come to the school. Is she too idealistic, too eager for change?The book is well written and the characters are so realistic they could step off the page There are several storylines going on at the same time. However, each line is easy to follow. The book is so good that it cannot be put down. Arrange for enough time to read the whole book at once or plan to stay up reading! I pulled another overnight read! Keep the tissues handy for both happy and sad tears.It is another winner and one to be recommended, Read Online Sisters of the Southern Cross Download Sisters of the Southern Cross Sisters of the Southern Cross PDF Sisters of the Southern Cross Mobi Free Reading Sisters of the Southern Cross Download Free Pdf Sisters of the Southern Cross PDF Online Sisters of the Southern Cross Mobi Online Sisters of the Southern Cross Reading Online Sisters of the Southern Cross Read Online Jean Grainger Download Jean Grainger Jean Grainger PDF Jean Grainger Mobi Free Reading Jean Grainger Download Free Pdf Jean Grainger PDF Online Jean Grainger Mobi Online Jean Grainger Reading Online Jean GraingerDownload Mobi SQL in 10 Minutes, Sams Teach Yourself By Forta Ben
