READ NOW“Although I was initially somewhat a reluctant author, the publishing of this book and finally holding it in my hand is the realisation of a long-held dream I’ve had to spread the word about the power of giving,” she said.

“I plan to use this book as the vehicle I need to demonstrate just how powerful it can be to give rather than receive.”
She will give a speech at the Wanneroo Library and Cultural Centre on October 17, and tickets to the event include a signed copy of her book and light refreshments.
