E-book Category: History E-book Title: Wilhelmina Author: Daphne Saxby Taylor Book Description: "I shall look forward with delight to working with you," stated the great Frederick Chopin, when Wilhelmina played for him. The Grand Duchess had offered her patronage. Was she set for an illustrious career as a concert pianist?
But pressures brought to bear by the social and political state of the country; the opportunities of migration to far away New South Wales and the memories of the French Revolution only 50 years ago, bear heavily on Wilhelmina's father.
Her indomitable spirit rises above all the disappointments and hardships that follow, they serving only to bring out in her, faith and courage, which would be further tested by her loving but sometimes wayward husband. All contribute to a quite amazing outcome.
WILHELMINA tells the story of faith, tough love and forgiveness - and their power to fulfill dreams in a totally unexpected way.
