About the Book

June was born in 1929 in the upstairs bedroom of the Camden Head Public House where her Father was the Licensee. Her life was full as she encountered many wonderful experiences in her early years. The trips to the country to stay with Grandparents, her frolics in the English countryside, where she could run 'free' with her brother Eddie. These were idyllic times and are highlighted in the many references to 'Cousley Wood'. At the tender age of just 8 years of age, her Father died, which turned her life literally 'upside down'. The Family needed to leave their home in Camden Town and moved to The Princess of Wales, which became the family home. At just eleven years old however, she was sent away to Boarding School together with her brother Eddie. This story recounts June's many experiences throughout her formative years, and beyond. June's story depicted in 'The Publican's Daughter', includes the turmoil of life in London during the Second World War and how this historical event impacted on her family and her life. A World War brings people from all walks of life closer together as they rally to support one another, enabling them to contend with what was happening around them for so many years. I feel that this book is also a tribute to the Powell family who enriched the lives of others as they pursued their own life paths. This is a story of resilience, of enduring incredible hardship at times through circumstances that one would never dream of occurring in one person's life. June survived Tuberculosis which should have claimed her life, the details of life in hospitals and sanatoriums and the impact it had on her family, are almost chilling. The Family's eventual moved to a 'new town', where they started life a fresh. However six years later they immigrated to Australia. A remarkable story, that is one of survival, tenacity and when it comes down to it, courage and determination to get on and live a life that would provide hope for the future. This is not your usual biographical book, as it contains such gems of imagination that it is actually awe inspiring. The gift of words is not endowed to everyone, but certainly it is an attribute that June was able to bring to each page of her memoirs. It is therefore with great pleasure that I share her life's story with you here. I do hope you enjoy your time spent experiencing my mother's journey.
About the Author: Having immigrated to Australia when I was ten years old my fondest memories of England would always be Dymchurch where we spent our summer holidays with our Grandmother and Aunt Ethel. Idyllic days, where we were 'spoilt' with the luxury of a beach on our doorstep, and lots of fun things to do. With the added luxury of sitting on Auntie Ethel's bed every morning to hear her 'stories'. Gran, although in her sixties at that time was a force to be reckoned with, and although she was strict we adored her. I don't remember what it was like living at the Princess of Wales, or Aslett Street, my first memories was our home at Crawley. I was lucky of course not to have remembered those earlier years, as it was obviously a time of great turmoil in our family's life. Coming to Australia, although an adventure, was a 'wrenching' experience for someone of that age. Leaving what I had come to know as 'normal' and embarking on a journey to the 'unknown' was certainly unsettling. Fifty years later I have a family of my own, two children and dare I say five grandchildren. Australia is my home, but I also still think of England as being my second home, although I haven't been back since 1970. It is time I feel, to embark on that long awaited holiday and enjoy the places I have never seen in my home country. I have come to have a greater understanding of my Mother, of her feelings about past family occurrences and how she dealt with her 'lot' throughout what at times was quite a tumultuous life. It would have been impossible to have included 'every detail' in The Publican's Daughter, as even now more 'snippets' of information comes to light, however I have had to put my foot down and say "No more", "the book is complete".
