Tracy Westerman Jilya
From humble beginnings in the remote Pilbara, Nyamal woman Tracy Westerman became the first Aboriginal person in Australia to complete a PhD in clinical psychology, and became one of the country’s foremost psychologists. In this memoir she tells her story, challenging the way the mental health profession responds to cultural difference, and draws on client stories of trauma, hope and connection.

Greek goddess Hera and her Olympian family have been forced into retirement and live out their immortal days in quiet resentment in the Australian suburbs.

Peter FitzSimons The Legend of Albert Jacka
Albert Jacka was the first Australian soldier to be awarded the Victoria Cross in World War I. From a dairy farm in Victoria, Jacka enlisted at the age of 21 in 1914 and landed at Gallipoli on 26 April 1915. There he single-handedly held off a Turkish attack as his comrades lay dead or dying around him. He went on to serve in France, only returning home after suffering a sniper’s bullet and then a gas attack at Villers-Bretonneux.
