Making A Living In The Philippines

Never Be Unsaid

Paul England

'Sarah's Turn' follows on where the best-selling 'Sarah's Child' left off. Suffering Postpartum Depression, 25 year old Sarah has to make some hard choices, not all of them the right ones. Despite finding someone new to love in England, Sarah Clarkson returns to Australia to be with her daughter and the man who helped create her. Stewart Lethbridge: narcissistic, controlling, violent, welcomes her back and all seems to be perfect. Then Stewart's step-mother, Marg, brings her new boyfriend, Alan, the bikie drug dealer, into their home.... Her parents, Adam and Sue, themselves the creators, through IVF, of Billy, born the same day as Sarah's Laura, find themselves once again caught up in the emotional whirlwind that is their daughter's life. Supporting her through court cases for passport fraud, fighting with her to gain access to their granddaughter, living with the threat of violence if they report the crimes committed against her, the Clarksons' suffer their own version of hell before the gripping, life or death climax forces Adam to make a decision: ... which of his children comes first? 'Sarah's Turn' is a fictionalized account of everyday life for those people dealing with mental illness, abusive relationships and the choices and consequences we all have to make, often on the spur of the moment. It continues the engaging real-life drama of the Clarkson family and, drawn on actual events in the life of author Paul England and his family, given literary license by co-writer Perry Gamsby, 'Sarah's Turn' asks questions, makes statements and leaves the reader richer, wiser and hopefully more empathetic for the plight of those who suffer. As Sarah so aptly says, "Nobody chooses to be mentally ill...."
