"The Competent Woman" - Family Saga Unravels on an Australian Homestead

VICTORIA, Australia - April 25, 2013 - PRLog -- Arlene Davis has had enough of bitchy women. She clears out of Sydney looking for a fresh start, but finds more than she ever bargained for when she moves to New South Wales.

Ever since she was six, Arlene has watched over her younger half-sister, Helena. Now Helena is a famous singer who is also a drug and sex addict, and is impossible to be around. Everything comes to a head after Helena steals Arlene’s fiancé and then dumps him. The man then commits suicide. Even though Arlene is the only one who can keep Helena functioning, the older sister has had enough and takes the opportunity to escape.

Buried memories of Arlene's past bring her to the small town Beckford, where she becomes the housekeeper for a family living on a homestead. There she will watch over 14-year-old twins with behavioral problems. The homestead causes déjà vu for Arlene as it digs up old family secrets as well as new romance.

About the Author: Janette Lawler calls herself a late bloomer. From the age of 10, she has told and written down stories. “Sometimes I would write to get out pain and feelings of inadequacy. Then I would destroy it. I was brought up under the rule, ‘What will other people think of us?’ So my dreams weren’t allowed. Now I don’t care what other people think. So maybe now my dreams will come to something.” She is an avid photographer and lives with her family in Queensland, Australia.
