From Strength to Strength

Thankfully we get to find out what happens after Strength to Strength in Sara's next two books in this series about her life in the outback, The Strength in Us All, and most recently, The Strength of our Dreams. I love her stories peppered with humor as she moves through life with such an indomitable spirit. I wish these books were easier to find in the U.S.

The story of a women with intestinal fortitude and drive.

Sara Henderson demonstrates an inter strength that only people dream about. She is a survivor from the start and must save her ranch from foreclosure and deal with the daily harshness of the out back environment. With an undying love for her girls, her ranch, and the people whom she works with side by side she must pull herself up by the "boot straps" and move forward. Having the strength to go on in spite of the hard ships she faces in her life and in a land that is unforgiving. Her story is moving, funny, and full of inspiration. I just hope her other books come back into print someday soon.

The life of a women living in the outback of Aust

This is one of the best books that i have ever read and i would like to read more of her books

This is a true story of an amazing woman in the outback.

I have read all of Sara Hendersons books about her life. I was so impressed by her first book - From strength to strength - that I could not put it down. So was my husband. I find it very interesting to read about women who have done things out of the ordinary - strong women in a sence. Sara is definetly one of them!

Widows struggle in the Australian outback

Sara Henderson's autobiography is totally enthralling. She tells of her early marriage to a gung-ho American entrepreneur in the 1950's, his infidelities in Hong Kong in the 1960's, and finally, upon her husband's early death, discovering he has left her virtually bankrupt on a million acre property in the Australian outback with 3 young daughters to raise alone. The book delves into her struggles to prevent the bank foreclosing, but much more than that, it tells the story of one woman's courage, determination and sheer persistence, told with heartbreak, honesty and humour. Sara Henderson was named the 1991 Qantas Businesswoman of the Year and has written a sequel and other books. Recommended reading.
