Growing Up Disabled in Australia
A rich collection of writing from those negotiating disability in their lives - a group whose voices are not heard often enough My body and its place in the world seemed normal to me. Why wouldn’t it? I didn’t grow up disabled; I grew up with a problem. A problem that those around me wanted to fix. We have all felt that uncanny sensation that someone is watching us. The diagnosis helped but it didn’t fix everything. Don’t fear the labels. That identity, which I feared for so long, is now one of my greatest qualities. I had become disabled – not just by my disease, but by the way the world treated me. When I found that out, everything changed. One in five Australians has a disabilit...

Husband Hunters
This isn't love. This is business. For fans of Zoe Foster, Lauren Weisberger and Mhairi Macfarlane. Clementine, a psychologist specialising in couples counselling, is reeling from the discovery that her boyfriend is married. Annabel, an ex-model, only seems to attract men who want her as a trophy. Daniela, a civil engineer, is stuck in the friend-zone. The evidence is adding up: true love as we know it is a hoax. Abandoning the romantic daydreams that have gotten them nowhere, the three friends decide to team up and use their considerable professional skills to find a partner. This isn't about hearts and flowers - it's about being practical. Warm and witty, Husband Hunters is a tongue-in-cheek look at the dating game and what happens when you try to engineer love. 'One of the most enjoyable books I have read all year' Tess Woods, author of Love at First Flight
Inheritance
From the author of The Mothers comes a propulsive family drama that explores the possibilities and dangers of designing the perfect child.

Decades later, Adelaide is an ambitious political staffer trying to make a difference. Adelaide and her husband are working towards a goal they’ve called The Cyprus Project, but their plans risk being derailed when an unexpected threat looms. Told across two generations, and two continents, Inheritance is about the legacies we leave our children, the bonds between mothers and daughters, and how it’s never too late to fix our mistakes.
