This Book..



This book is about the story of my childhood and what I had to endure growing up in a foreign country. It is about the trials and tribulations a small child had to suffer and never once complain about.

It contains a great deal of graphic details of things that were done to me and of the thought and emotions I had to go through. It contains my life story of when we reached the shores of Australia to the time I was 21 and was married. It will bring you to tears at times but I must tell you it left an indelible image on my psyche which I had to work through for years.

It is all true to the best of my abilities as I remember these things happening to me. I have changed names and left last name out or just used initials as I didn’t want to offend anyone who is still alive today.

Please read it with an open mind and heart and aloe me to show you what a child of society should never endure while they are innocent and growing up.

Thankyou.

Caron’s Review:

'A New Beginning'
by Andrea Reid

Tittle: A New Beginning
Authur: Andrea Reid
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
Review: Caron Casey

... 'A New Beginning' ... is a life story based on the early years of Authur Andrea Reid. It is a journey that is not for the weak and the Author displays her strength throughout, sharing with her readers that no matter how hard some one pushes, you can still get up and dust yourself off if you believe.

This is the story based on a childs struggle to be loved and accepted on Australian shores after migration from Holland into Australia during the late 1950's.

It is the story of courage and determination with a will to live for others and this is what kept this small, always hungry, thin and at times very ill child going.

Babies raising babies out of love. Did the system 'fail' this author when no nurse, doctor or other questioned a child bring a child to a hospital for a medical appointment? This is just one of the questions I asked myself after reading this outstanding recollection written by Reid. Parents that went to several christian fellowship and Sunday school attendance...did the church also fail this child?

The love of this child at a very young age also extends to nature while experiencing 'friends of the magpie'. In addition, this child found herself with many aquantances that were just not prepared to look beyond their own selfishness.

kids can be cruel...adults can be crueler especially if it's your own flesh and blood, a very abusive Pa and a scitzophrenic Ma who cared more about television time....but this free spirited child never once complained about her ordeals of abuse on all levels... one thing that Reids abusers did not steal was her spirit.

The smell of a meat pie, the taste of milo, soft toilet paper ... it's the finer things that makes Reid's passion for life so inspiring. Having to use newspaper to keep warm, so cold a child cries, abused for eating bread.... Yes, this story tares at your heart strings but you must not feel sorry as this is NOT what this author wants. Reid requires only an understanding and to heal oneself through reading. Peacing together the world and love for children one person at a time.

It was at high school during a school play where Reid discovered her passion for acting and acted for the audiences applaud and approval. It was at this same concert that the Author also discovered an appreciation for the stolen generation, questioning why her aboriginal friend had white parents.

In the early 1970's the author was employed as an assistant nurse in the Blue Mountains,it was at this point that Reid experienced her first sighting of death. Even as a young adult Reid was still bullied at work by other staff including a wardsman. It wasn't long however before she lost her job and had to return home.

After an ordeal, Reid found herself pregnant and being faced with a forced choice that NO expecting mother should have to fac, Adoption. At the last minute,however things took a twist. Was it the angels looking after her and her baby? Reid was married under varied circumstance and so A New Beginning was born....

It is no suprise that the Authur has dedicated her story to ALL her children as an unconditional mother and spirit living inside a human body. This story is written for EVERYONE, the authors hands are reaching out in this story in an effect of helping others to heal ones own wounds by reading.....

.... 'A New Beginning' is the story of courage and determination that lives within us all .....
