When home becomes your prison, how do you escape? What if you had ninety minutes and an old suitcase, what would you pack? What do we value, what is important to us, what do we need? On an idyllic summer day as children play in the sprinklers, their lives are about to change as they are taken from the familiarity of home on a journey to safety, to the unknown. As a family they will lose all they have to begin a new life, whilst facing new challenges and the ever-present spectre of old demons. This is the story of a woman who escapes with her children. Together they build their own inner fortress to stay strong, facing the constant terror of a life they' re desperate to leave behind. A woman' s story of survival and determination, of breakdown and break-through, and of those delicious days of sunshine and song.
Jan Daniels was born in the late 1950s in England, but has called Australia home for over five decades. Jan has a deep love for the natural beauty of the country, especially of her spiritual homeland and muse, Anglesea. Raising her three children in the Surf Coast township as a sole parent gave her a solid foundation to rebuild her life and find the peace and stability she so craved. Jan is fascinated by people, conversations, the human spirit, the seasons of life, artistic talent and reality TV. Her greatest joy comes from beauty and colour, family and belonging, the lure of clifftops and an angry sea, the will to win and her beloved Hawthorn Football Club - the longest relationship and love affair of her life. Jan has long worked in community organisations and is currently business manager of several social enterprises.
