In this book, through stories of her life and her own research and investigations, in her inimitable, irreverent voice, Turia examines how we can reclaim our leisure time, our bodies, our autonomy, how we can self-care while caring for others, if we allow ourselves to be selfish.

Whether via the numerous media reports, 60 Minutes specials, Women's Weekly cover stories or her first book, Everything To Live For, we know about the why, how and what of that fateful day in September 2011.

We've had a glimpse of the love of her boyfriend, Michael, that sustained her, and seen hints of the inner-strength that has made her one of the most admired women in the country.
