The stories in this generational history form an anchor of love and pay tribute to a brave Maria who let go of her most devastating secrets before her passing.

It’s the author’s second publication and a companion memoir to Helena’s first book, ‘When the Past Awakens.’ Which was shortlisted for Victorian Community History Awards 2020.

The book launch will be conducted in English and the book will be available for purchase on the day.

About

Helena Kidd was raised in Richmond, Victoria. As a young woman, she was caught between two worlds. She is of Cypriot heritage, but as a second generation Australian she tried hard to fit into the ‘Australian way’. The bonds of mother and daughter were fractured for a time, but as Maria and Helena worked towards a better future together their connection became unshakeable.

Helena Kidd received the CYDIA award in Literature at the Cyprus Diaspora Forum 2024.
