Lesley grew up in a small seaside village on the East Coast of NSW, Australia. She explains in her writing what it was like having parents that served in two World Wars and the results from the effects of their trauma. Describing the neglect, abuse and attempts at survival, sometimes in graphic and explicit detail, is central to Lesley's purpose of writing, in the hope to help others face their own hardships. The wonder of Devine healing and protection is softly woven through the fabric of her memoir building hope and faith as the years progress.
