PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Biographer Gabriella Kelly-Davies has been writing stories ever since she mastered the alphabet-now that passion has seen her win three writing prizes. Gabriella has studied life writing at Oxford University, Sydney University and the Australian National University and she is a doctoral student in biography. She is the founder of Share your life story and has written over thirty self-published memoirs, life stories and family histories for her clients. Gabriella is President of Life Stories Australia Association and believes the art of biographical storytelling is a particular writing genre-it's not fiction, but it requires the weaving of someone's life story into a form that compels readers to keep turning the pages to find out what happens next.
'The fascinating journey and breakthroughs of a compassionate and driven doctor dedicated to reducing patient pain.' Tara Moss, Bestselling Author & Painaustralia Champion. 'If you want to know the inner workings of medicine-of the people behind the breakthroughs and the advances, then this is the book for you. It charts an arc of over 50 years in the life of a remarkable individual. This is a fascinating reading.' Dr Marc Russo, Pain Medicine Specialist. 'Breaking Through the Pain Barrier is a worthy tribute to Professor Michael Cousins. So many patients have benefited from the work Prof Cousins has done to improve the care of pain patients, from his holistic approach to pain and focus on brain re-training, pacing and neuroscience. It's an engaging book, showing the reader the clinician, researcher and Prof Cousins' family life as well. It offers hope to patients too, that pain can be better managed through access to holistic pain clinics and services.' Sophie Scott, Journalist, Broadcaster, Author and Pain Champion. 'I always find it interesting to read of a subject's origins and see how those influenced the outcome of their life. I highly recommend Breaking Through the Pain Barrier to people interested in biographies of extraordinary achievement, those in the medical profession, and anyone who experiences chronic pain.' Cate Sawyer, Author.
