David Schwarz

This is David Schwarz’s honest and courageous story, told in full for the first time.

But it is also a tale of redemption, as David recounts the moment he turned his life around, and the path of recovery since.   > Find out more

Mary Delahunty

Mary Delahunty was elected to Parliament and in under a year the ALP won the election and she was thrust into Government. The fairy dust fades though when her soul mate, husband and father of their two children is struck down with a rampant cancer. This is a meditation on how a public figure copes, or fails to cope with private grief, during the long dying and the unending absence. Mary Delahuntly is honest and entertaining about her mistakes, her political unravelling, her ‘sacking’ and the understanding of a new shape of life after ‘the bear pit’. This is a compelling read as a charmed life comes spectacularly undone in public.  > Find out more
