Editorial Reviews

"Walls are built for protection. For keeping people safe. But what happens when the wall is psychological and the people you are keeping out are your family? Bringing Down the Wall is an honest look at how confusing life can be. It’s about forgiveness and acceptance. It’s about courage and frailty but above all it’s about love and family."

Pass It On - Jackie Hosking

"A sensitively told story about loving relationships, coping with loss and learning to love again. Bringing Down the Wall gently explores the process of loss and healing across the generations, from child to parent to grandparent."

Buzz Words - Margaret Warner

"A beautiful, heart-felt story about how sometimes things get lost in the generation gap. It takes someone very special to build the bridge and mend the hearts. This book is sure to fill a gap in the market and many a family. Lovely."
