Influence in Australia is about how others can influence your life. Sarah's decisions took her on the road of some disastrous decisions and some small good fortunes. Sarah's life was difficult; the loss of her mother was so great that it impacted on her mind. When she was a young child, she watched her mother dying. The pain stayed with her through her life. She often remembered her mother's strong words and always felt their power. She became a loner, because she was not as fortunate as other children; with no real guidance growing up, she found her own way and worked very hard to get what she wanted in life. Her self-belief led to material wealth, which she later lost, since she put others in front of her, and they did not think of her in any way. They made sure they gained from Sarah's hard work; the people she attracted into her life shaped her future. This is a story of courage, drive, determination, and risk. It is also about the beauty of Australia and the funny turns that happen in life. The story discusses friends made and lost, and includes how this affected and impacted everyone. This story shows that you are not alone. Life can be great, and others can shape your future through what you see and believe. If you feel alone or feel you are the only person to make a wrong decision, then this book is for you. UGLY DUCKLING | Influence in Australia by Louise Louise Foster, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
