"Riveting...Stone's graceful prose, vivid imagery and compassionately drawn characters make this one a standout." --Publishers Weekly
Colleen Watts and Louise Brodie are sisters who decided that the autobiography of Henry Caulfeild, their great grandfather, had great merit and should be rescued from the dusty archives of family memorabilia. While their generation - there were ten great grandchildren - knew the story, they realised that their own children, and their children's children, had little knowledge of this family story. Hence, publishing Henry Caulfeild's autobiography would be the start of retelling family stories for a new generation and give context to family history. However, what started out as a swift edit of the memoir and distribution only to family members took on a life of its own. The project blossomed,… indeed ballooned. 'A Speck in the Cosmos' has been published in book form and is now also available as an ebook.Colleen and Louise both live in Australia and both have studied and worked in agricultural and environmental fields.
