A HIGH COUNTRY LIFE
Pip Cameron
A&U New Zealand
9781988547473 | $45.00 | | HB | Memoir
High Country memoir of life through the seasons on a large
sheep station, with delicious recipes
Life on Otematata Station, a 40,000 hectare high country station
in Otago, is busy and varied. Philippa Cameron and her husband,
Joe, who is the fifth generation to work the farm, help care for
this vast tract of land with 30,000 merino sheep and 500 head
of cattle.
It's a sparse environment completely at the mercy of the
elements, bringing with it many challenges and seasonal
demands. Told through the eyes of Philippa in her role as station
cook, this is the story of mustering in autumn, lambing in spring,
the freezing days of winter and the scorching heat of summer.
Along with looking after her two small girls, her garden and
various animals, Philippa feeds the teams of workers. She collects
and shares a selection of delicious, hearty recipes with other
farm cooks on her popular Instagram page @whats_for_smoko. A
High Country Life features Philippa's most trusted recipes, tested
on many approving musterers.
Pip Cameron lives on Otematata Station in the South Island of
New Zealand.
MY MOTHER AND OTHER
SECRETS
Wendyl Nissen
A&U New Zealand
9781988547213 | $36.99 | | PB | Memoir
Uncovering old family secrets leads Wendyl Nissen to a better
understanding of her mother in this compelling and moving
memoir
When Wendyl Nissen's mother was suffering from Alzheimer's,
she told some extraordinary stories about her background that
Wendyl had never heard before.
Wendyl was determined to get to the bottom of these family
secrets, and what she found were some wild and intriguing stories
of loss, grief and love.
She uncovered new relatives, deeply sad adoptions, harsh
parenting, complex marriages and a few rogues—stories of how
women struggled in an era when childhoods were tough and
women had to fight for every bit of independence they gained.
This compelling and moving book is about mothers and
daughters, ageing and the way deep family traumas echo down
through the generations. Because these secrets and tales
emerged through the effects of Alzheimer's, the book is also
spliced with wisdom on caring for someone with dementia.
Wendyl Nissen is a journalist, broadcaster and former magazine
editor who is the author of seven books, mostly about living a
chemical-free, old-fashioned life. She lives in the Hokianga.

MY INNER SKY
Mari Andrew
Allen & Unwin
9781760879426 | $32.99 | | HB | Memoir
A collection of essays and illustrations, divided into phases of
the sky—twilight, golden hour, night, and dawn—that serves as a
loyal companion for life's curveballs
A whole, beautiful life is only made possible by the wide spectrum
of feelings that exist between joy and sorrow. In this insightful
and warm book, writer and illustrator Mari Andrew explores
all the emotions that make up a life, in the process offering
insights about trauma and healing, the meaning of home and
the challenges of loneliness, finding love in the most unexpected
of places—from birds nesting on a sculpture to a ride on the
subway—and a resounding case for why sometimes you have to
put yourself in the path of magic.
My Inner Sky empowers us to transform everything that's
happened to us into something meaningful, reassurance that
even in our darkest times, there's light and beauty to be found.
Mari Andrew is the New York Times bestselling author of Am I
There Yet? whose witty comics on Instagram have garnered a

THE BEAUTY OF LIVING TWICE
Sharon Stone
Allen & Unwin
9781760879969 | $32.99 | | PB | Memoir
Sharon Stone tells her own story: a journey of healing, love and
purpose
She was one of the most renowned actresses in the world—until
a massive stroke cost her not only her health, but her career,
family, fortune and global fame. In The Beauty of Living Twice,
Sharon Stone chronicles her efforts to rebuild her life, and the
slow road back to wholeness and health. In an industry that
doesn't accept failure, in a world where too many voices are
silenced, Stone found the power to return, the courage to speak
up, and the will to make a difference in the lives of women and
children around the globe.
Over the course of these intimate pages, as candid as a personal
conversation, Stone talks about her pivotal roles, her life-
changing friendships, her worst disappointments and her greatest
accomplishments. She reveals how she went from a childhood
of trauma and violence to a business that in many ways echoed
those same assaults, under cover of money and glamour. She
describes the strength and meaning she found in her children and
in her humanitarian efforts. And ultimately, she shares how she
fought her way back to find not only her truth, but her family's
reconciliation and love.
Sharon Stone is an actress, human rights activist, artist and
writer. She lives in Los Angeles.

Incident
Nic is a forty-five-year-old trivia buff, amateur nail artist and
fairy godmother to the neighbourhood's stray cats. She's also
the owner of a decade's worth of daily newspapers, enough
clothes and shoes to fill Big W three times over, along with crates
of Happy Meal toys and towers of Vegemite jars, take-away
containers and cat food tins.
Nic's closest relationship is with her niece Lena. One Sunday,
when Nic fails to turn up to lunch, Lena arrives at the house she
hasn't visited in years to find Nic unconscious under an avalanche
of stuff. Devastated that her beloved aunt has been living in such
squalor all this time, Lena gets to work cleaning things up while
Nic is in hospital.
This heroic effort is not appreciated by the plastered up, crutch-
wielding Nic. She returns to an empty, alien place unrecognisable
as her home and the unbearable pity of her family who have
no idea what they've destroyed. How can she live in this place
without safety and peace? And how can she ever forgive the
niece who has betrayed her?
