Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A family is a place where you expect to be loved and nurtured. Where you can develop and grow knowing that you are loved and valued. But what if the family you live in is a place where everything you do is considered wrong: where no love is to be found and you are considered worthless. A place where you heart shrinks from the relentless onslaught of constantly living in fear. What can you cling to so that you not only survive but also develop as a person? Where can you go to and find a place of safety, refuge and peace. Set in the village of St Peter's in the 1950s, Tears for Food tells the story of Richard who though living in a dysfunctional family, with a controlling and unstable mother, is able to find solace through his singing in his local church choir; his friendships with his fellow choristers and his first venture into love with someone else. His life outside the family is the only place where he is able to find a place of safety, refuge and calm. But will it be enough?

In Papua New Guinea, Japanese forces occupy much of the eastern shoreline and have destroyed a vital radio station needed by the Allied Forces for navigation. Now, a daring mission by two soldiers to create a new station has gone terribly wrong. As one man hangs from his parachute in the dense jungle, he suffers from amnesia. In the midst of World War II, he has no idea he is. After he is rescued by members of an indigenous tribe, "Joe" struggles to remember anything from his past. He meets a Japanese soldier who has gone AWOL, and Joe begins to wonder if he too is a soldier. Meanwhile, Mattie Billings, a newlywed living in Australia, patiently waits for any word about her husband, Rick, who is serving in the war. She has no idea that he is lost in a jungle with no recollection he is even married. Worse yet, the only one who knows what really happened in the skies above Papua New Guinea has been captured by the Japanese. As three people separated by the travesty of war struggle to be reunited, each must look deep within for the answers in order to survive.
