Meet Stephen Wallace online or in person as he answers Questions about the book Mayfield Girl: A woman’s search for a mother’s love: A memoir of Newcastle and country NSW.

Mayfield Girl written by Jean Sharp and edited by her son Stephen Wallace.
Jean recalls in remarkable detail the big and small events of 20th century life: school during World War I, the growth of Mayfield and Newcastle, domestic and social life, work as a midwife in the slums of Sydney, life in the country towns of Warialda and Moree, World War II, and a rocky marriage bringing up four children.

Jean’s son Stephen Wallace encouraged her to write down her memories to help her come to terms with her past. She had spoken many times of her difficult childhood in Mayfield and her troubled relationship with her mother.
