What’s On

Byron Writers Festival presents Gina Chick, the inaugural winner of Alone Australia, to share the story of her extraordinary, indomitable life in one of the most powerful, moving memoirs you will ever read, We Are the Stars.

When: Tuesday 22 October, 6:30pm (bar open from 5:30pm)
Where: A&I Hall, Bangalow
Tickets: $31.25 Members /$41.50 General

From day one of her wildly unconventional childhood, Gina Chick blazed her own trail, which led her to dance through the hidden world of ’90s Sydney nightlife into the arms of a conman. She fled to the wilderness to find healing, began a wondrous love affair with the deepest lessons life – and death – can offer, and found that all the answers are written in the wisdom of the body and the whirling silence of stars.

If you’re ready to get lost in jungles, wander into wolf-dens, sing with storms, rescue orphaned animals, dive to the depths, dance ’til your knees wobble, fall in love, find yourself by losing it all, and most of all be real; this book is for you.

We Are the Stars is a magic carpet ride through the exquisite mystery of the human heart. You’ve never read anything like it.

Join us for this very special conversation event, with GALAH editor Annabelle Hickson.

Byron Writers Festival presents two big book events this spring, with international bestselling author Jodi Picoult on Monday 21 October and Alone Australia winner and memoirist Gina Chick on Tuesday 22 October.

Held over two days, you are invited to attend one or both events, with a special discounted price when you book for both.
