A raw, moving and uplifting memoir about courage, resilience and the transformative power of love, from one of Australia's most captivating personalities.

'Powerful, heartbreaking and beautiful ... a story of incredible triumph fuelled by love and compassion' Osher Gunsberg

'Brooke Blurton is an icon for people of all generations and backgrounds. I love seeing her star shine.' Clementine Ford

My story is about the one thing that I never went without. Love. Big love, that filled me up and made me feel like there was a future for me. The kind of love that's unconditional, and that lasts across time and space ...

From the moment Brooke Blurton appeared on Australian television, she dazzled audiences with her authenticity, self-knowledge, generosity and honesty. As a proud young Noongar-Yamatji woman, Brooke's connection to her culture and country is deep, and as an openly queer woman, she knows that love is simply love. Most of all, Brooke understands the importance of family and the uplifting power of unconditional connection.

But behind the public persona Brooke presents to the world is a story of epic proportions and awe-inspiring resilienceβ€”she had to grow up fast from a very young age, surviving an extremely challenging childhood and youth. She overcame the shocking legacy of intergenerational trauma, abuse and homelessness. She's also had to defy labels and perceptions about who she is, and her worth, all her life.

But through it all, Brooke didn't just survive; she found her voice and thrived. In this raw, heartbreaking, often funny, and ultimately life-affirming memoir, Brooke lays her journey bare about how she refused to allow the past to define her, reclaimed her own identity, and realised the power of loveβ€”for herself, for her family, and for her community.
