Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Five ways a person can avoid an autopsy: . Don't die. (Easier said than done.) . Don't die of homicide, suicide, accident or surgery. . Don't die under suspicious circumstances or in custody. . Don't die interstate or overseas. . Don't die suddenly and unexpectedly from apparently natural causes. Ever wondered what really goes on in the autopsy room? Dr Meryl Broughton was a medical examiner for many years and in her time performed countless autopsies for the coroner. What she learnt during her time bent over the stainless steel bench, peeling back layers of skin and examining vital organs, is truly astounding. During her stint as a regional medical examiner Meryl Broughton was able to provide answers to many families who had a loved one die unexpectedly. Often what was thought to be the cause of death turned out to be just the tip of the ice burg. Frequently the cause of death turned out to be something very different to what was first thought. Occasionally an autopsy revealed something utterly unexpected and amazing. Combining her extensive knowledge of the human body with her fascinating real life autopsy cases, Meryl examines the nuances and mysteries of death from a completely unique viewpoint, and outlines the lessons that can be learnt from death which will help us all in life. AUTHOR: Meryl completed her medical studies at Monash University and has been a doctor for over 35 years, mainly in the country regions of Western Australia. She writes regularly for the Medical Observer and has also been published in the Griffith Review. She lives in Albany with her husband.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Sydney's leafy northern suburbs were a bastion of Christian conservatism in the 1970s, but the Roberts family was always a little different. If having lots of children, pets and parties made them stick out, then a mum with a procession of live-in lovers had the neighbours wondering if this mob had mistaken Beecroft for Lesbos. Despite the climate of the times, Toby's parents were able to reach a very bohemian understanding - his dancer mother was free to find love in the arms of younger women, while his doctor father was free to drink and pretend it wasn't happening. Growing up a middle child of four, Toby loved his mother's girlfriends as if they were older siblings. But when his mum fell for Caro, everything changed. It's hard enough when your mum and dad divorce, and you move into a new home with two mums - harder still, when one of those mums challenges your masculinity by flogging you in tennis and lifting weights that would give you a hernia. To make matters worse, Toby had just started high school at a Christian college where Mum's spiky hair and long trousers weren't welcome. The usual insecurities about finding acceptance in high school go up a notch or two when you're a weedy violinist and your two mothers keep kissing in public. This delightful coming of age memoir explores the angst of puberty, school, sport and bad 80s fashion. Beneath the humour and quirky characters, reminiscent of Netflix's Sex Education series and just as awkwardly funny, lies a deeper reminder of the human need to pursue more authentic lives, and the capacity for people to surprise us by accepting love in all its forms. Over time, the bravery and decency of Toby's two mums wins admirers and supporters in unlikely places, from rugby-playing school boys to deeply religious stay-at-home mums. Even Toby learns to see the value in his embarrassing childhood. AUTHOR: Toby has worked as a lawyer, banker, speech writer, and even a session singer, in roles that have taken him around the world. He has written articles for major Australian broadsheets, and written a number of short stories which have been published in magazines, converted into podcasts and broadcast on radio. Two Mums and a Dad is his first book. Toby grew up in Sydney's northern suburbs with his mother and her female partner. He lives in Sydney again now, with his wife, two children and a whippet called Devo. A delightful coming of age memoir about growing up in the conservative Sydney suburbs in the 80s with two mums and one very grumpy dad.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. When Naomi Hart flew from Sydney to New York to study musical theatre as a twenty-two year-old, she planned to be away for only two years. Little did she know that two years would eventually turn into eight and much of it would be spent working for the New York Mafia. As a young uni student Naomi flew from Australia to New York to make it on Broadway as a musical theatre actor. In the process she accidentally ended up working for the New York Mafia, performed as a dancing plate in the musical 'Beauty and the Beast', married a talented but highly temperamental chef, opened the famous Hartsyard restaurant and bar in Sydney, lived on an island in Fiji and, after discovering her eldest daughter had autism, lost all her hair to stress and became devoted to water polo. Her memoir, Life at the Bottom of the Blender, has it all. Written with warmth and passion, not to mention an enormous dose of quirky humour, Naomi outlines her crazy life that has seen her cheered by US audiences, spat on by rude restaurant customers, lived in buildings where dead bodies were routinely discovered, unsuspectingly married a man whose talent as a chef was only slightly marred by his ADHD, fought for and won a green card to the US, opened a restaurant of her own in Sydney while nursing a toddler and pregnant with her second child, wrote a bestselling cookbook, lived and worked on a beautiful island resort in Fiji and then, after Covid sent her family scuttling back to Sydney to deal with lockdowns and home-schooling, gradually realised that her life was too much. even for her. It is a truly fabulous, entertaining and uplifting story. You couldn't make it up. An enormously enjoyable read. AUTHOR: After earning a degree in musical theatre Naomi moved to NYC in 2002 to pursue a career on the stage. She lived there for seven years, working as a performer, choreographer and director, and also wrote and performed in two sell-out cabarets. After returning to Sydney she co-owned and managed two successful, award-winning restaurants. In 2009 she wrote and recorded six short stories for ABC Radio National under journalist Ann Arnold. Her short stories have been published in Meanjin, Dumbo Feather and Wet Ink. 8pp colour photographs Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: 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. Condizione: 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.
