From Strength to Strength Sara Henderson

Sara Henderson's bestselling autobiography has touched the hearts of thousands of people all over Australia. As tough, spirited, warm and funny as the woman herself, From Strength to Strength is the inspirational story of one woman's extraordinary courage and determination.

In 1959 Sara met American war hero and shipping magnate Charles Henderson III, and so began what she calls the world's most demanding, humiliating and challenging obstacle course any human could be expected to endure.

Three years after their marriage, Charles presented Sara with her new home - a tin shack in a million acres of red dust. Bullo River. After twenty years of back-breaking work on this remote Northern Australian cattle station, Charlie's death revealed that Sara had not only been left with a floundering property, but also with a heart-breaking mountain of debt.

With very little to lose, Sara and her daughters Maree and Danielle, took up the challenge of rebuilding Bullo River... with such tremendous results that in 1991 Sara was named the Bulletin/Qantas Businesswoman of the Year.
