The Steering Wheel

"It's the 1970s and Anne thought a fresh start in a northern town would be the adventure of a lifetime. But her husband, Thomas, has other plans. While he's busy with his career, Anne struggles to adapt to a new culture, a growing family, and a marriage that seems to be unravelling in ways she doesn't understand. As the years pass, Anne finds herself tangled in an emotional web she can't escape - a web of coercive control that, at the time, didn't have a name. Her world becomes a constant balancing act: love and fear, joy and dread, commitment and silence. Each day, she wonders if she's doing the right thing, as Thomas's emotional manipulation grows more extreme, and his terrifying retribution threatens her at every turn. With shame weighing her down and her children's safety in the balance, Anne is trapped in a cycle of confusion and guilt. But when Thomas crosses a line, Anne is faced with an impossible choice: stay or leave? The question becomes a matter of survival. This raw, compelling story of marriage, manipulation, and the quiet courage it takes to break free from an abusive relationship will resonate with anyone who has ever faced the cost of loving someone who isn't what they seem."

Stammering Against Truth: Surviving the Unspeakable

"This intimate and unflinching memoir explores Wen's struggle to survive, and confronts the belief that people don't change. Through appalling abuse and neglect, Wen finds a way to a very different kind of life, embodying resilience, healing and transformation. The story is woven through with the intriguing themes of Wen's life. With humility, understanding and beauty, she delves into the plight of a stammerer, the unbreakable bonds of twinship, and her body's need to dissociate. Wen's evocative imagery transports the reader from the red dirt of Broome, to the streets of India and the mists of Scotland. She crosses the continents, often by bicycle, committing to radical political action and spiritual exploration. These pursuits help forge her growing character. After settling in Scotland, she uncovers buried memories of a terrifying Queensland childhood shrouded in threats and lies, and of her father's links to a Brisbane paedophile gang. 'To the outside world, we were the picture-perfect family. No one would have believed me, even if I could have found the words.' She doesn't recoil from facing the truth of her childhood or the unconscionable harm her parents perpetuated. Wen tells how she found her way to her heart and her true gender self. In doing so, she celebrates the power of kindness. Stammering Against Truth is a powerful and empowering book that proves past traumas need not define our futures."
