As an adopted woman and triumphant survivor of multiple traumas including domestic violence, homelessness, substance abuse, self-harm, sexual assault, and a horrific eating disorder, I find myself in the unique and inspiring position to be able to offer comfort to those affected by similar hardships.
I am a true survivor and my one and only desire through the publication of this book is simple - to inspire readers that there is always hope. I’m a passionate advocate for adopted people who, like me, may have struggled to find their voice - until now.
I have no doubt that the readership for my debut novel, Finding Mary Jane, will be substantial. The Senate Community Affairs References Committee report estimates that there were as many as 250,000 total adoptions Australia-wide until 2012.
