Like a Dandelion in the Wind

Andrea endured many hardships in her life while travelling around Australia with her lovable rascal of a father. She was taught cunningness, survival, love, gambling, hunting and fishing, unlike any education you get from sitting in a classroom. Taken out of school at 13, married at 16 and a mother at 17. War and a traumatic birth of her second child only made her stronger. Evacuated to London, she spent two harrowing years trying to return to her beloved Australia. Once back, she fought the biggest battle of her life, saving her children from an evil spirit. Her limited education would not deter her from documenting her life's journey. These are her own words, based on her memories. Any reference to anyone passed orliving is purely coincidental.
