Excerpt from: The Youngest Barksdale
Helen arrived home around the usual time and found Daria reading in the lounge room. “Daria?” she asked.
“Hi, Helen,” Daria said as she put the book aside.
“You want something, don’t you?” Helen asked, remembering similar behaviour from her sister in the past.
“Yes. I heard that there were modelling agents at school last year.”
She sat next to her sister. “Oh that! Quinn was very annoying about it, but nothing came of it.”
“Oh? I also heard that she was involved.”
“What are you getting at, Daria?”
Daria sighed. “The editor of Val magazine was there today…”
“Quinn told me yesterday. Another student won a contest.”
“And the Principal bent over backwards to accommodate her.”
“That’s not surprising. There’s a lot that’s happened in the past year. But the accusations have come off Angela Li like water off a duck’s back.”
“I see,” Daria said neutrally, although Helen could tell that she was annoyed.
She had heard what Daria had done at her past schools. ‘Could she do the same at Lawndale?’ she wondered, not for the first time. “But maybe you could find something that would stick before you graduate.”
“I intend to. If there is something, I will find it.”
“But first, what happened with Val?”
Daria told Helen what she had heard from Andrea.
“I see.”

Excerpt from: 406 Remeetings – 20th
Becki arrived at Wingewarra Baptist Church for the first time in over a year. The year away with her family was worth it. She hoped that the Church would be as she left it. Still holding to the truth of the Gospel. That the new pastor would not be compromising. That there wouldn’t be false teachings. She shook her head. That wasn’t likely, was it? She put that out of mind as she entered the building. She saw some of her friends nearby. “Good Morning,” she said as she walked over.
“Becki!” It was Elias Brennan.
