Memoir of a political survivor
Judith Collins
ALLEN & UNWIN
9781988547510 | $36.99 | | PB | MEMOIR
A candid and revealing memoir from one of politics' great
survivors—National MP, Judith Collins
This frank account from National MP Judith Collins of the highs
and lows of a political life is the most anticipated political memoir
of the year. From humble beginnings as the daughter of Labour-
voting farming parents, Judith Collins has carved a path to almost
the very top of politics. The youngest daughter of older parents,
Judith Collins grew up in rural Walton, Waikato on a dairy farm.
At the age of 10 she entered politics, running for Class President.
She won. After a successful career as a lawyer, Collins became
the MP for Papakura in 2002, alongside fellow new recruit,
John Key. When Key and National won office in 2008, Collins
became the Minister for Police, Corrections and Veterans. Funny,
forthright and fearless, Collins reveals the truth behind what it
is like to survive—and thrive—as a senior female politician for two
decades.
Judith Collins is a senior National party politician and former
lawyer who has kept extensive notes of her time in politics. She is
the MP for Papakura and is married to businessman David Wong-
Tung.
NOT THAT I'D KISS A GIRL
A Kiwi girl's tale of coming out and coming of age
Lil O'Brien
ALLEN & UNWIN
9781988547589 | $36.99 | | PB | MEMOIR
A heart-breaking and hilarious true story of coming out as gay in
New Zealand
Lil O'Brien accidentally outed herself to her parents at the age
of 19 when they overheard her talking to a friend about liking
girls. Half an hour later she found herself on the street, with
instructions to come back and pick up her suitcase tomorrow.
What follows is a heart-breaking yet hugely funny story of a
young Kiwi girl—the deputy head girl from a posh private school
in Christchurch—coming to grips with her sexuality and trying
to reconcile who she is against the stark disapproval from her
parents.
Bit by bit, Lil finds the inner strength to pull herself into an
entirely new world. Along the way she gets called out for looking
too straight in a gay bar, falls in lust over a knotted football
shoelace, and tries to date four women at once, unsuccessfully.
Lil's story is a humorous and honest look at how the hell you
figure out you're gay, or bi, or whatever, and an essential read
for anyone who has had to fight for who they are and what they
believe in.
Lil O'Brien is an ex-advertising creative turned freelance
copywriter. She lives in Auckland.

Drop the one-size fits all approach to money and discover the
power of knowing your own individual financial type

9781760877811 | $32.99 | | PB | FINANCE
In this breakthrough book you'll discover your Money Story,
your Money Type and just as importantly you'll learn the habits,
triggers and tricks that are right for you
When it comes to saving and spending money, we're not all the
same. Yet for too long, the financial advice world has treated us
as if we are. Once you realise that the one-size-fits-all approach
so many of us have been adopting when it comes to money
doesn't work for many of us, it can be liberating. Finally, there's a
reason why you've struggled with money—why you're perpetually
sabotaging, why you're constantly at loggerheads with your
partner or why you just can't seem to be consistent.
When it comes to other areas of our life such as food and exercise
we've embraced a multi-faceted, often highly personalised
approach and we recognise that's important. Why do we think
it's any different when it comes to our finances? That's why
understanding your Money Story and discovering your Money
Type is the key to financial success.
Melissa Browne is a financial advisor, accountant, financial
wellness advocate and author Money for Shoes, Fabulous but

Jena Chung plays the violin. She was once a child prodigy and is
now addicted to sex. She's struggling a little. Her professional life
comprises rehearsals, concerts, auditions and relentless practice;
her personal life is spent managing family demands, those of her
creative friends, and lots of sex. And then she meets Mark—much

It's London 1943, and war and dwindling resources are taking
their toll on the staff of Partridge Press. The pressure is on to
create new books to distract readers from the grim realities of
the war but Partridge's rising star, Alice Cotton, leaves abruptly
and cannot be found. Alice's forced absence is to birth a child,
Eadie. Although her mother promises to help her raise the child,
she secretly gives away her tiny granddaughter.
With the police unable to help, Alice's search for Eadie takes
her from child welfare organisations and newspapers to more
dangerous places as she looks for the infamous baby farmers who
thrive in the changing conditions that war has created. As she
looks ever more desperately for her daughter, and the identity of
Eadie's father is finally revealed, quick action is necessary to help
save them both. Inspired by real events during the Second World
War, Finding Eadie is a surprising love story about a woman's
search for her stolen child. It's also a story about the triumph of
three friendships bound by hope, love, secrets and the belief that
