Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sydney's leafy northern suburbs were a bastion of Christian conservatism in the 1970s, but the Roberts family was always a little different. If having lots of children, pets and parties made them stick out, then a mum with a procession of live-in lovers had the neighbours wondering if this m…ob had mistaken Beecroft for Lesbos. Despite the climate of the times, Toby's parents were able to reach a very bohemian understanding - his dancer mother was free to find love in the arms of younger women, while his doctor father was free to drink and pretend it wasn't happening. Growing up a middle child of four, Toby loved his mother's girlfriends as if they were older siblings. But when his mum fell for Caro, everything changed. It's hard enough when your mum and dad divorce, and you move into a new home with two mums - harder still, when one of those mums challenges your masculinity by flogging you in tennis and lifting weights that would give you a hernia. To make matters worse, Toby had just started high school at a Christian college where Mum's spiky hair and long trousers weren't welcome. The usual insecurities about finding acceptance in high school go up a notch or two when you're a weedy violinist and your two mothers keep kissing in public. This delightful coming of age memoir explores the angst of puberty, school, sport and bad 80s fashion. Beneath the humour and quirky characters, reminiscent of Netflix's Sex Education series and just as awkwardly funny, lies a deeper reminder of the human need to pursue more authentic lives, and the capacity for people to surprise us by accepting love in all its forms. Over time, the bravery and decency of Toby's two mums wins admirers and supporters in unlikely places, from rugby-playing school boys to deeply religious stay-at-home mums. Even Toby learns to see the value in his embarrassing childhood. AUTHOR: Toby has worked as a lawyer, banker, speech writer, and even a session singer, in roles that have taken him around the world. He has written articles for major Australian broadsheets, and written a number of short stories which have been published in magazines, converted into podcasts and broadcast on radio. Two Mums and a Dad is his first book. Toby grew up in Sydney's northern suburbs with his mother and her female partner. He lives in Sydney again now, with his wife, two children and a whippet called Devo. A delightful coming of age memoir about growing up in the conservative Sydney suburbs in the 80s with two mums and one very grumpy dad. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardback. Condition: New. Photographer and curator Terry Toedtemeier (1947-2008) began his career in the 1970s with extensive photographic experiments to capture his close circle of friends and colleagues. Largely self-taught, he began to attract wider critical attention with his landscape images, initially snapshots from his mo…ving car and later exquisite compositions influenced by his deep understanding of both historical and contemporary photography traditions of the American West. His haunting photographs often focused on the Oregon desert and coastline, and magnificent basalt formations of the Pacific Northwest.Sun, Shadows, Stone is the first scholarly monograph of the photography of Terry Toedtemeier. His photographs were featured in the nationally traveling exhibition Framing the West: The Survey Photographs of Timothy H. O'Sullivan and are in the collections of many museums including the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Philadelphia Art Museum, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
