Gina Chick will be in conversation with Kate Grarock on her memoir We Are the Stars, a misfit's story of love, connection and the glorious power of letting go.Gina Chick, the inaugural winner of Alone Australia, tells the story of her extraordinary, indomitable life in one of the most powerful, moving memoirs you will ever read. From day one of her wildly unconventional childhood, Gina Chick blazed her own trail, which led her to dance through the hidden world of ’90s Sydney nightlife into the arms of a conman. She fled to the wilderness to find healing, began a wondrous love affair with the deepest lessons life – and death – can offer, and found that all the answers are written in the wisdom of the body and the whirling silence of stars.
If you’re ready to get lost in jungles, wander into wolf-dens, sing with storms, rescue orphaned animals, dive to the depths, dance ’til your knees wobble, fall in love, find yourself by losing it all, and most of all be real; this book is for you.
'We Are the Stars is a magic carpet ride through the exquisite mystery of the human heart. You’ve never read anything like it. A wild, creaturely memoir that shows us how to really live.’ Charlotte Wood,
'Her powerful poetic mixture of truth, humour, hard-fought wisdom and unblinking authenticity radiates from every page. I can’t wait to give this book to everyone I love.' Hugh Jackman
'There’s nobody like Gina Chick and this book pulses with her intelligence, authenticity and vulnerability, but most of all, with her passionate love of life.’ Leigh Sales
