Happy
Children: Secrets of How They Think
By Elizabeth Gould
RRP : AUD$21.95
A heartwarming and uplifting book which gives us an insight into the secret world of happy children. It is unique in that it is not based on an adult analysis of children with difficulties but on personal and in-depth interviews that tell us in the children’s own words how they feel about themselves and the world. Elizabeth Gould has that rare gift of being able to communicate with these children and encourage them to want to share their happiness with her. The book reveals a picture of children who face the usual ups and downs yet have found a way to be happy and stay happy.
Elizabeth Gould had a senior career as a lawyer and consultant in the corporate world before her life changed. She had barely recovered from a brutal home attack when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Throughout all these trials Elizabeth maintained a hugely positive attitude and she is now free of cancer. Her bestselling book Secrets of Cancer Survivors has received wide acclaim in Australia and been translated into several languages.
The Child Within
by Dr Linda Fiske
RRP $24.95 AUD
In this book the author talks to women who tell of the struggle and sadness of facing infertility or loss through miscarriage and the accompanying merry-go-round of tests, treatment and trauma.

Enjoy Motherhood
by Jenny Hartman and Toni Ryan
RRP $24.95 AUD
Losing fitness, fun and identity as well as the ability to hold an interesting conversation is not the only way to be a mother. "Enjoy Motherhood" shows you how to be a mother and have fun. A happy, healthy mother is more likely to have a happy, healthy baby. This readable "how to" manual is based on the professional experience of the authors, as a psychologist and exercise therapist, and their personal experiences as women making the transition from active and busy working women to active and busy mothers. Having fun is not something we traditionally associate with motherhood. This book suggests that we should make it more of a focus and suggests why and how we should do this. It offers a different paradigm and encourages women to make a choice about how motherhood will be.
