This book follows Helen Barnacle's transformative journey from a hopeless
young heroin addict facing a 15-year prison sentence with her newborn
baby, to a successful psychologist, drug counsellor and prison reform
campaigner who is both mother and best friend to Ali: the daughter who
gave her the courage and determination to survive. Helen and Ali's story
has been captured in award-winning director David Goldie's highly acclaimed
documentary Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind (for which Helen wrote the theme
music), the sequel Going Straight and on Australian Story ABC TV. As a
result of Helen's now national profile, she now has the opportunity to
spread her message of hope and vision at conferences, government and university
forums, charity organisations, drug-support groups and book clubs. |
