Visions from Two Continents is the story of a 20th century woman, Sheila Buchanan Buell determined to express herself through art and find her way home to Australia, while raising her children alone.  Sheila said, "I don’t need to watch soap operas, I lived one. Soap operas are for people who haven't lived."  Sheila told stories of her life which women of that era rarely admitted. Her daughter has brought these stories to life in a fast moving trip through the 20th century. The book is carefully researched and documented with footnotes. It is classified as fiction because it is written in Sheila's voice.
