Jennette's life began at the end of the Great Depression, and spanned into the digital age. And she was determined to write it all down. Even with World War II putting strain on her family and community, Jennette had an idyllic childhood, filled with fun and imagination. But after her father returned from the war unsettled, Jennette had to adapt to life on the move. Each new station job saw the family on the road once again, from the outback of South Australia to the Fleurieu Peninsula. Jennette tells stories of a girlhood on horseback with rifle in hand, her gradual re-introduction to town life where she experienced the trials of being a teenager, and her hilarious adventures as a nurse in the 1950s, when doctors were gods and nurses their minions. Eventually marrying a farmer and moving to the country town of Melrose, life didn't slow down for Jennette. The adventures continued, with town activities to run, committees to join, natural disasters to respond to-and the pain of grief and loss, at a time when such things remained unspoken. Filled with laughter and moments of deep reflection, Jen is a journey through time, a record of daily life in a frequently changing world. Completed just months before her passing, Jennette entrusted her story to her daughter and granddaughter, leaving behind a legacy of love, resilience, and connections to eras past.
