Description:
A captivating story of family and friendship through one decade of incredible change, from NZ's no.1 bestselling author.


In 1950s Auckland things are changing - and fast. Women are joining the workforce in numbers, whitegoods are readily available and the age of rock'n' roll has arrived.

Allie Manaia works the Elizabeth Arden counter at Smith and Caughey's. It's been two years since the Dunbar and Jones fire, where some of her friends perished, but she still has nightmares.

Kathleen Lawson -- rich, lonely and bored -- is one of Allie's customers. Kathleen takes a shine to Allie, but when Kathleen discovers Allie's husband is Maori, her attitude changes. Is she trying to make friends or poison the relationship between Sonny and Allie?

Meanwhile, Sonny's beautiful younger sister, Polly, is embracing the more relaxed moral standards of the era, living a vibrant but wayward life as a waitress-model-goodtime girl while leaving her young daughter to be raised by her mother.

As each woman navigates the shifting social and cultural landscape of the 1950s, she is faced with new possibilities and decisions - with freedom comes joy, but also fear and, occasionally, mistakes.

Told in Deborah Challinor's trademark style - equal parts heart and humour - From the Ashes follows the fortunes of the women of three families through one decade of incredible change.

Find balance, peace and restoration with Soul Care
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Debra Fileta’s background as a licensed professional counselor and Christian shines bright as she combines biblical examples from Jesus's life with informed psychology and resources to help the reader avoid burnout and live joyfully. Soul Care will help you examine what areas of your life require attention and set a path for what you can do next. The book provides resources and ideas and is an excellent study tool. As a small business owner for over 22 years, my pace has impacted my decisions for decades. One topic covered in Soul Care is the need to slow down. I relate very much to the need to pace myself and find rhythms of rest. If you are willing to go deep and ask yourself some real, honest questions, this book is for you. In our fast-paced, always-on, instant world, this book offers an opportunity to find balance, peace, and restoration, leading to better relationships, decision-making, and outcomes. Debra is an outstanding counselor who is God-led to help people. I highly recommend Soul Care by Debra Fileta because I believe God can use it to help transform you and the people in your life. It's a source of inspiration and motivation for personal growth and transformation.

Timely words for today’s culture
Format: Paperback
Debra Fileta's "Soul Care" is a great blend of faith-based principles and practical advice. I love how she explores the rhythms Jesus practiced to care for his soul as a framework for readers to follow. What sets Soul Care apart is her holistic approach to caring for ourselves. Debra Fileta addresses the spiritual, emotional, AND physical aspects (I love the title of chapter 7). Her tone is so easy to read, but the content is deep and thought provoking. Soul Care is helping me realize the need to establish healthier, more sustainable rhythms in my life and giving me answers for how to do that. As someone who served in ministry before, during, and after the Covid-19 pandemic, I’ve seen such a high burnout rate around me (and in my own life). This couldn’t be a more timely read. I want to give a copy to everyone I know!
