The Man Who Gave In

Set in the stunning landscape of the Australian Outback on a long-established prosperous family cattle station and the modern city arts district during the 1970's; a game of strategy ensues between two brothers who love each other, and a feisty female third party. It's a judo conflict of the mind where the one uses the opponent's force against the other, overseen by a divine referee...

This is Joan's third book as she again takes up the challenge of solving one of life's dilemmas using Christian principles.

Joan began as an Artist in her youth, was converted to Christianity and became a Matron in one of the last Children's Homes in Australia before being put in charge as an Auntie in one of the first Family Cottages which replaced them. She then married a Minister, wrote many poems and plays, and spent the rest of her adult life as a Christian Counsellor before publishing and creating more of her works in retirement.
