Of Ashes and Rivers that Run to the Sea by Marie Munkara

This is an incredibly open and honest memoir. Marie Munkara holds nothing back reflecting on her abusive adoptive parents and the challenges she faces when she reconnects with her birth family and country.

This book deals with her need to embrace aspects of both the culture she was raised in, and the one she had to start to relearn at twenty-eight-years-of-age. It raises issues that face Aboriginal people today and in the past, with candour and hope.

Dangerous to Know by Anne Buist

Book two in the Natalie King, Forensic Psychiatrist series can be read on it's own, but follows book one, Medea's Curse.

Natalie is again challenged on all sides, both personally and professionally, as she deals with her own demons, and then encounters them in her work. Who should she be looking out for?

Insights into mental health, that reflect Buist's background in this area, are combined with action and suspense to make this an interesting and compelling book.
