Find Me
by Holly Craig

When Pete vanished into the rugged wilderness of Tasmania’s Abel mountains, it only took a few weeks for the search to be called off. 

He’d been warned, they said. Mount Mercy takes people.

Brought together by their mother’s dying wish to find their brother once and for all, estranged sisters Hallie and Gertie head back to Mount Mercy.

It doesn’t take long for the sisters’ hunt for answers to become a fight for their own survival. 

The Graduate
by Rebecca Lim

New graduate Fei Fei Chou is an outlier at her prestigious law firm.

She's too quiet, she wears too much makeup, she’s only here because the boss has a thing for Asians. 

But Fei isn’t here to climb the corporate ladder – she’s here for revenge.  

Thirty years ago, three schoolgirls were kidnapped and abused by a man who’s never been identified.

The information Fei needs to find him is buried somewhere in the firm’s records. 

Deliberately placing herself in harm’s way, Fei will uncover a secret history of power and privilege that haunts not only her firm, but the nation itself. 

Make Believe 
by Mac Barnett

Make Believe is children's author Mac Barnett's cry for art and imagination, and a celebration of the power of storytelling.

It's an incisive, intimate, and timely invitation to approach children's literature not only as an art form worthy of deep study and criticism, but as a portal into the lives of the children.

And at a time when we are faced with a national literacy crisis, he champions the profound joys of literature and the importance of reading for pleasure.

What if humans' ability to appreciate art is, if not innate, awakened early in childhood? Well, then we'd better do our best to make some good kids' books.

by Sophie Green

Not only does the frock shop give them purpose, but the clothes help them become the women they were destined to be.
 

This is Me
by Hayden Panettiere

What started as a fun job for a child took a darker turn as Hayden came of age.

She exposes the pressure and exploitation young stars face before they're old enough to know themselves, and how easy it is for them to lose control of their own narrative and, ultimately, their lives.

Hayden was the target of brutal tabloid headlines picking apart her body, and she performed storylines onscreen that mirrored her real-life trauma.

Hayden managed to take these experiences, which she calls 'lifequakes', and emerge from them stronger, no longer afraid to use her voice or show her true self.

Can You Handle a Girl Like Me?
by Bec Condello

In a sleepy Canberra suburb, Bek Condello was raised in a strict patriarchal Pentecostal movement.

The influence of the Geelong Revival Centre extended into the lives of the congregation, promoting discipline, dictating how women behaved and who they would marry.

After enduring a tumultuous marriage, Bek Condello made the decision to start her life again. Anyone who leaves the GRC is cut off, from family, identity, history.

Can You Handle A Girl Like Me? chronicles Bek's journey through both challenges and transformation, sharing dating and friendship challenges.
