The Wings that Soared

Dreams, no matter how far-fetched, can be achieved with faith and determination.

This memoir is a life’s journey which started with a happy childhood spent on the rural farm in the Philippines in the 1950’s.

Nora’s idyllic life turned into a constant struggle when her father left them. Their family was reconciled, but the journey was of hardship, difficulties and sufferings when she was growing up. This made Nora aim high. The struggle continued through the years of hard work, marriage, having children and a work venture in Taipei. This is not the kind of life she wanted for her children. Nora made up her mind to leave the homeland that was dear to her.

She settled in Australia and travelled the world, but the recurring dream of returning to her birthplace has made her wonder. Has she chosen the right path?
