Whisper of the Lotus: A girl. A chance encounter. A lost letter. Oct 24, 2020

by Gabrielle Yetter

( 58 )

$2.99

A buzz sounded from inside Charlotte's handbag, so she stopped and fumbled for the mobile phone she’d switched on after landing. Surely nobody would be contacting her here. Her fingers curled around it and she flipped open the case and checked the message: Welcome to Cambodia, Charlotte. You have 57 days

Sometimes you have to go a long way from home to come full circle back to discover what was right in front of you.

Charlotte's mundane, dead-end life lacked excitement. She never imagined that sitting on a plane to Cambodia, struggling with her fear of flying, would lead to her being befriended by a Rashid, an old man whose tragic secret would take her on a mystery tour of discovery.
In a land of golden temples, orange-clad monks, and smiling people, Charlotte discovers nothing is as she'd expected. She also never imagined the journey would take her back to the night when her father walked out on the family.
And who was Rashid? Was he just a kindly old man, or was there something deeper sewn into the exquisite fabric of his life?

From the author of The Definitive Guide to Living in Southeast Asia: Cambodia and Just Go! Leave the Treadmill for a World of Adventure, Whisper of the Lotus is a multi-layered story about friendship and family, love and identity, set in an exotic, magical country in Southeast Asia.

by Gabrielle Yetter , Daro Sam

( 17 )

$3.99

When an accident made Martha's coat blue, her world turned upside down. She was no longer like the rest of the flock. She stood out and she didn't like it. She wanted to fit in.

But a series of surprising events and the help of an unexpected friend showed Martha that being different could be a blessing, not a curse.

Martha, The Blue Sheep is a story about acceptance, tolerance and diversity. It's a charming story to inspire children not to be just one of the flock, but to celebrate being an individual who brings richness and colour to the world.

I Am, I Said: A brief history of the Said family Feb 13, 2016

by Gabrielle Yetter

( 1 )

$3.99

I rediscovered my father's family in 2011, more than 20 years after losing contact.

A string of coincidences and curious shifts of circumstances brought me back to them and in the process I uncovered a clan I am proud to call my family.

On rediscovering them, I also heard stories from the Said family's older generation. I learned about the obstacles they faced in an era now long gone as their lives in the mid 1900s endured a series of calamitous twists.

Raised in Port Said in the glory days of Egypt, my father and his siblings led privileged, glamourous lives. My great-grandfather, Giovanni, was one of the founders of the Port Said Water Company which supplied water to ships working on the Suez Canal, and his family was well-known and respected in their home city. When Nasser nationalized the country in 1950s, they were forced to leave, taking only their personal possessions with them.

They crossed the world in ships, most of them putting down roots in Australia where they started families and businesses of their own, experiencing countless harrowing challenges and pitfalls along the way.

This personal family history is designed to capture the memories of my father's generation and to recount their experiences for today's generation and generations to come so they will understand the influences that make them what they are today.

Just Go!: Leave the Treadmill for a World of Adventure Jun 14, 2015

by Skip Yetter , Gabi Yetter

( 26 )

$6.99

In 2010, Skip and Gabi Yetter quit their jobs, sold their home, gave away most of their possessions and bought one-way tickets to Cambodia. They wanted to see more, do more, experience new things and break away from their traditional lifestyle. Along the way, they met dozens of people like themselves: individuals, couples and families who'd decided to opt out of conventional lifestyles and travel to other parts of the world - whether in midlife or just starting out.

Just Go! is about that journey. It's about discovering ways to make a change-whether it's quitting a job, moving across the world or finding a new direction. It's about developing tools, plans and checklists so you can re-chart your life. Written by two career journalists, Just Go! is a self-help book and a true-life storybook for anyone considering, procrastinating, researching or thinking about stepping off the treadmill to explore new horizons.
