Nutmeg by David Lucas
Ruth and her beloved brother Philip find solace in the expanse of theTanglewoods' property. There they escape into bird watching, climbing, and general misadventures with their friend Terry.
But life with their Aunt is harsh, and Ruth suffers from an incorrigible temper. Just when she thinks she can't take it anymore, she learns a very special secret about a very special Shepherd. When a dreadful accident hurts one they love, Ruth and Philip learn that the Tanglewoods' Secret isn't meant to be kept a secret.
Lucas, David: - David Lucas is a sixty-four-year-old lawyer, who also manages the Self Managed Family Office (www.smfo.com.au). He is intrigued by the bewildering array of answers to the question why? that humans have given over 130,000 plus years. The contradictions that are inherent in being human-ingenious, naive, stupid, creative, devilishly cunning, messy, kind, cruel, perverse, emotional, unpredictable, logical, self-judging, self-excusing, drama-loving and so drama-creating, altruistic, pitiless-means that the stories to be told of humans are limitless. His legal practice allows him to experience the best and the worst of us. He was born in Fern Tree Gully, Melbourne, is an avid follower of Brisbane Lions in the Australian Football League, and lives by the beach in Freshwater, Sydney, with his partner, Cath, and dog, Summer.
