Agnes's Broken Dreams by Judy King

Agnes is finally propelled to uncover the childhood mysteries that have haunted her life. One woman´s past threatens to expose a family, when after years of psychoanalysis Agnes returns to her roots in Australia for the first time in decades at the request of her devious mother. Yet, Agnes, also has her own reasons for making the journey. Amidst this vibrant and often amusing portrait of her youth, she is determined to uncover what lies behind her childhood amnesia and attain the happiness she has been denied. Discover a world of hope and joy as you unlock the secrets of Agnes' past and embark on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery.
