    About this ebook

    In her youth Brenda found the family home at the foot of the Adelaide Hills stiflingly quiet. She fled to the coast and city life. Now, much older, she relishes the quiet life and shares the rambling family home with her elderly mother. Both women are widows and their constant companion is a little West Highland terrier dog called Diddum. While Brenda’s mother is away for a few days, Brenda spends a quiet day at home. During the course of the day, both at home and out walking the dog, Brenda experiences a range of distinct weather conditions: a crisp early morning frost; clear blue skies and warm sunshine; swirling windswept autumn leaves; flowers in bloom and a brewing storm at the end of the day. She remembers various poignant moments from her life, from the summers of childhood through to the loss of her husband to cancer during a long, cold winter.

    Libby O'Neill

    I am an Australian fiction writer and artist.Originally from Maitland, near Newcastle, I have lived in Central West NSW for more than forty years. Many things inspire my creative pursuits - my life experiences, country and coastal locations and travel. One of the hardest things when writing is choosing the right name for characters.In 2012, I self-published one of my novels called The Jasper Plate. This novel is available for purchase as a paperback, a hard-cover book and also as an ebook.Online, visit The Book Depository, Amazon or the Xlibris online bookstore to order, or order from any good bookstore.
