From the volume description:
"The Shiralee - Few books have captured the spirit of the Australian bush and of the hardy people of the outback so vividly and truthfully as this poignant novel by D'Arcy Niland. It is a story for all time, too, because of its warm understanding of the hearts of a man and his child.
Lifeboat Number Two - The hidden passions and tensions among the passengers assigned to Lifeboat Number Two, of the S.S. Seven Seas, were fiercer than the storm the ship encountered. How they were resolved forms the substance of a dramatic story set against the background of a luxurious world cruise."
The Dwelling Place - The moving and finally triumphant story of the young, orphaned, Cissie Brodie, in the pit country of Northern England. Desperately poor but with iron determination and pride, Cissie raises nine sisters and brothers - and discovers that she is fair prey to a spoilt, rich young neighbour. Though the beauty and ugliness, nobility and shame of nineteenth century England, Cissie's story moves to a touching and unexpected denouement.
The Blind Side - A fast-paced suspense story which switches from strife-torn Biafra to London, Lisbon and a small Austrian village, this is Francis Clifford at his nerve-tingling and thought-provoking best."
