Book synopsis

A memoir of a quintessential Australian life, Dennis Mitchell grew up in Childers in country Queensland during the Great Depression, experiencing all the hardships of that era, but nonetheless revelling in the joys of friendship, family and his unique environment. Deeply affected by the early loss of his parents Dennis vowed to create a new life and family unit based on his memories of those happy childhood years. Following his story through the war in the Pacific and then onto adulthood in the NSW town of Tamworth, the themes of determination, dignity and family emerge from the author's life story. At heart a snapshot of rural Australian life from the 1920s through to the 1970s, Interrupted Aspirations is filled with memories that will resonate with anyone with a life similarly lived as well as with students of Australian history.
