Brooke Boney has been in the public eye for well over a decade, first as a recognisable voice on triple j, and then as a recognisable face on The Today Show. All of It draws us into her world, as she writes with honesty, humour and empathy about everything from the downsides of having a public profile to the joys of owning dogs, from the various forms of love that make up a life - romantic, familial, platonic - to how that love has been sustained through generations of colonisation and violence, and from the concerns that are a part of your early thirties - fertility, ageing, career progression - to discovering what's actually worth fighting for. As a journalist, Brooke knows how to write a story, and these are her most personal stories yet.
