Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A gripping memoir that reads like a psychological thriller. When Anne wakes in hospital, she is unable to recognise anyone or anything, mistaking herself for a young girl at first. She can talk but cannot remember much, including, as it turns out, the birth of her daughter, her rocky relationship with a man who is said to be her husband, and a mysterious man she feels a deep longing for but is warned against. As Anne tries to recover and piece together what has happened, fragments of memory come back but do little to help and sometimes confuse her further. The people in her life tell a different story about her past and Anne is unsure of who to believe. During her investigation into her history, Anne discovers that she was once a journalist for a Sydney newspaper for which she wrote a controversial story about the criminal underbelly of Mosman in the 70s. She charts the fallout she experienced from unmasking one of Sydney's affluent, darling leafy suburbs. Against this backdrop of unease and intrigue, Anne is forced to confront her new physical limitations, and try and work out the truth of who she is. AUTHOR: Anne grew up in Mosman and studied Arts and English Literature at the University of Sydney. She undertook a graduate cadetship in journalism at the Sydney Morning Herald where she worked for several years. After leaving news, and returning to work as an arts editor for the Eastern Herald, she then worked as a magazine features editor. In late pregnancy, she was diagnosed with a rare defect on her outer brain, and agreed to opt for the 12-hour neurosurgery that would save her life. Complications led to a case of retrograde amnesia, which she struggled with for over a decade. She would eventually leave Sydney to live a quieter life between mountain and sea on the NSW South Coast. She eventually returned to journalism and magazine editing. Anne then returned to university to study Creative Writing, obtaining a PhD. She now works as a copywriter and is writing a novel. This is her first published book.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 2017 Renee McBryde published her best-selling memoir in which she learned she was daughter of a convicted murderer, a secret she was made to keep by her mother, shrouding her childhood and early adulthood. In Unravelling Us, Renee delves into the most important relationship in her life, her mother, who gave birth to Renee when she was barely sixteen and living on the streets. Renee hopes that by doing this she can heal the pain of her own turbulent childhood. But the pent-up misery seeps its way into Renee's life as her mum escapes into alcohol and the party life, unwittingly exposing Renee to a repeat of her own early life of neglect and abandonment. As a grown woman and child protection worker in Alice Springs, Renee is confronted with different mothering styles on a daily basis, which only serves to strengthen her resolve to break the cycle of abandonment and neglect that she herself suffered. Renee ponders the question: is it her father's murders that she needs to run from? Or is it the parenting trauma that has been drowning her family generation after generation? And now that she is a mother herself, is it possible to stop that cycle affecting her own children? Trying to reconcile her determination to forge her own path as a mother while being surrounded by echoes of her troubled past and obligations as a daughter to an increasingly fragile mother is almost impossible. And then the unthinkable happens. Unravelling Us is a rare account that combines a gripping, page-turning story with an examination of what it means to be a 'good' mother against the backdrop of the one of the deepest and most chronic issues that affects Australia today, Indigenous child welfare. AUTHOR: Renee McBryde is a writer, social worker and mother of four young children. For more than 20 years she has worked with children and families in the community services sector, her passion being trauma-informed practice and healing to bring about change. Her first memoir, The House of Lies, was released in 2017 to critical acclaim. Renee lives in Alice Springs.
