For iconic Australian journalist Tracey Lee Holmes, sport has been both a way of life and a lens through which to look at life itself. In this completely candid, wide-ranging and passionate book – part memoir, part manifesto – she shares both her stories and her views on sport’s most dramatic issues.
There's something for everyone here, from Cathy Freeman and James Hird to Ayrton Senna and Pele. Tracey takes us beyond the scores and stats to the real stories of sport – the stories of human beings in exultation and defeat, and the bigger stories of money, power, and all too often, discrimination.
Zane Grey was the world's first millionaire author, inventor of the western in both literature and Hollywood films, globally feted as a celebrity adventurer. But until now his adventures in Australia have been little known.Vicki Hastrich tells his fascinating story.
Captain Michelle Huntington's story is told with sharp wit and unflinching candour.
On her way to becoming a femaile airline captain, Huntington navigates a turbulent path, sidestepping naysayers and confronting systemic barriers.
Her story is packed with exhilarating adventures and powerful insights into resilience and resourcefulness.
Christine Newell thought a year in South Korea would hit the pause button on her messy life. Her dad's death had left her anxious and depressed, and her career in musical theatre had reached a new low of shopping-centre kids' shows. When she found herself pulled over by the side of the road, dressed as a dinosaur and sobbing uncontrollably, it was clear something had to change.
This is the extraordinary memoir from journalist Cheng Lei, whose life was abruptly transformed when she was detained in China on false charges of espionage.
It's a harrowing, fierce and often darkly humorous account of her experiences. Cheng Lei talks about the power of the human spirit, bravery in the face of cruelty and pettiness, the consolations of letters, music and books, and how unexpected friendships and the love of family can unlock the courage we all have within us
At 35, when a 13-year relationship ends, food journalist Candice Chung finds herself losing not only her first love, but also her most reliable restaurant review partner. Then her retired Cantonese parents offer to be her new plus-ones, and she faces a dilemma: is it better to eat together in polite silence, or to try saying the unsayable-to broach how, for the past decade, they managed to drift so profoundly apart?
