Story Overview

Brenda was a lonely child, resented by her sister and a disappointment to her Dad. She made her own fun, losing herself in a dream world. Introduced to a form of sex at a young age, she became an observer of the way animals coupled together. Her sister was not kind to her. They moved to a new place where she had some contact with a lass from Dubbo.

Early Tragedies

Her first real pet was taken by a snake in front of her, and snakes were instrumental in leading to the loss of her next love, her dog D2. In her early teens, her sister died in mysterious circumstances. She died of snake bite, causing her Mum to have a mental breakdown and her Dad to turn to alcohol. She ran away, not caring where she was going.

New Life on the Farm

Here she got lucky as the truck she hitched a ride with turned out to be a decent bloke. He led her to an idyllic life on a farm and gave her a dog. A snake reared its ugly head again. Here, a nasty man raped her. She went back to her Mum and became a nurse.

Challenges and New Beginnings

Finding out she was pregnant, she again ran away to the city. A group of prostitutes took her in, where she lived while waiting for her babies. The man who had raped her saw her there and spread tales of her working in a brothel home to the farm. The truck driver confronted him and killed him. He went to jail and experienced some terrible events.

Later Life and Family

A disgraced doctor supported her through her pregnancy, helping find couples to adopt her babies. While recovering from a traumatic birth, she met with her friend from her previous home and left to go to Dubbo with them. She met a nurse friend who told her that her Mum and Dad were now working on the farm and about the truck driver being in jail. She visited her grandparents at the same time as the truck driver, and they both still had feelings. A quick marriage was arranged before they headed back to the farm and her parents.
