A collection of witty and heartfelt essays about love, loss and ambition, from journalist and proud Gamilaroi woman Brooke Boney.
Brooke Boney has been in the public eye for well over a decade, first as a recognisable voice on triple j, and then as a recognisable face on The Today Show.
These essays draw us into her world, as she writes with honesty, humour and empathy about everything from the downsides of having a public profile to the joys of owning dogs, from the various forms of love that make up a life - romantic, familial, platonic - to how that love has been sustained through generations of colonisation and violence, and from the concerns that make up your early thirties - fertility, ageing, career progression - to discovering what's actually worth fighting for.
As a journalist, Brooke knows how to write a story, and these essays are her most personal stories yet.
