DOWN UNDER ALL OVER: A Love Affair with Australia
In 1967, at age 22, Barbara Brewster immigrated, solo, to Australia from America. In Down Under All Over she shares her love affair with the land and people.
To see Oz of the 1960's - 1980's through this lover’s eyes is not only to experience places, people, possibilities, anew. This is also an adventurous woman's journey of expansion, participation in and reverence for The Land and, particularly, its rural people. DUAO inspires readers to their adventure and to wider, richer ways of seeing and being.
From the dolphins of Monkey Mia to the opal mines of Coober Pedy, from heroic farmers to meditating monks, readers of all ages will delight in the lyrical, perceptive descriptions of the place and people.
TESTIMONIALS
I found myself with eyes filled with tears... What can I say? I love it!
-- Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport, Rolf Harris
DUAO shows a remarkable sense of love and perception for things Australian... My greatest dream is that through the love of the nature of Australia, people from all backgrounds, races and cultures will come together... Barbara Brewster is part of this process; passing the message on to the world.
-- Singer, songwriter, John Williamson
Barbara Brewster writes about Australia with a lover's indulgence and passion, tempered by a keen eye for the idiosyncratic nature of both the country and its inhabitants. America is the country of her birth. Australia is the country of her heart.
-- Singer, songwriter, Eric Bogle (author of 'And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda')
DUAO has set my soul singing in a way I really cannot express but by crying! ... I am so filled with the love of those people and the country that I could not express in the way you have.
--Virginia, Colorado
Brewster's vignettes of Australia are marvellous! She is a spectacularly good writer!
-- Michael Page, Editor, Rigby's Publishers
Colouring this account are references to the author's struggle with multiple sclerosis - hers is a courageous voice that illuminates the physical achievements of the journey with a deeply felt gratitude for each day's wonders.

LOVE OR GROWTH WHY NOT BOTH? A Woman's Dilemma
Barbara's story of a woman striving to live her burgeoning spiritual and personal truth within the context of an established relationship. Masterfully interweaving her personal story with pertinent quotes, 'Love or Growth Why Not Both?' is an inspiring blend of the personal and universal. "Candid and naked like an intense sharing with a trusted and very wise friend, Love or Growth affirms and encourages women on their journeys."
TESTIMONIALS
A powerful motivator and an inspirational tool for women who stand on the edge of major change .. Encourages the reader to make the jump, gently and with deep connection to Spirit and one's intuition. A great read and hard to put down.
-- Robin Clayfield, Author of “Gifts for Wild Women”
This is a courageous woman's journey into the Unknown. I am always impressed when a person willingly & deliberately invokes the Unknown into their life. Brewster embarks on a journey for spiritual growth, a journey her partner is both unable and unwilling to take. What a very common problem this is in our present age. I was held by the flowing account of a time of great change and turmoil. I learned more about the way a woman thinks and the ways a woman finds the needed support when confronted and challenged by Change and by Life. I enjoyed this book. Although I feel it is primarily a woman's book, it has a lot to offer men. I thoroughly recommend it.
-- Michael J. Roads, Renowned Author and Spiritual Teacher
Confronting and challenging! Lots of 'Aha' moments and has brought about some very in-depth discussions with my husband about our relationship. -- S.F: Married Woman in her thirties
Beautiful writing... I can't think of another book that so clearly presents the difficulty that a woman has combining personal growth and a loving relationship.
-- Rosemary Allan: Author of Out of the Whirlwind
It is about: Truth–telling, trusting God which is trusting self/heart, feeling self within, wanting Holy Relationship - where each partner stands strong in wanting only God first - in following their own guidance.
-- Elizabeth Bunker: Director, Sacred Pathways Yoga, Creator of the Harvard University Yoga Program
I had the best night's rest in years. This morning, I was able to write a letter, without blame but only love, to my soon-to-be-ex-husband, and I even sent it.
-- G.G: Woman going through a separation

JOURNEY TO WHOLENESS - And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to bloom.
Spurred by a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis at age 38, Journey to Wholeness Chronicles Barbara's courage and commitment to self-questioning, personal change, and finding her spiritual core. Her deeply honest story of exploration, breaking habits, speaking truths, and reclaiming her SELF has inspired many. As Journey to Wholeness eloquently illustrates, true healing is not so much about recovering from disease as it is about recovering from misbeliefs, negative emotions and self-inflicted limitations.
TESTIMONIALS
With grace and insight Barbara Brewstar shows us how even a life-threatening crisis can be an opportunity to restore the memory of wholeness. And, when the memory of wholeness returns, there is healing. I highly recommend this book.

A most sensitive book helping us to learn to let go and to find our spiritual core. I am sure it will be helpful to many.

A powerful and absorbing initiation into self-examination and wholeness through the crucible of illness... An exceptionally well-written, informative, and empowering book especially for women.

An honest, moving chronicle of how meaning enters illness and why healing, if complete, must address life's meanings. Journey to Wholeness will encourage and enlighten anyone interested in true healing.
-- Larry Dossey, M.D., Author of, 'Meaning & Medicine'
The best personal account I've seen of how a survivor discovers the connection between physical health and emotional
health.

It's probably the most honest book ever written.
