Stories of Hope and Resilience This book is a collection of eight
stories about how real people coped with suicide, brain injury,
dyslexia, alcoholism, sexual abuse, racism, teen parenting, and
growing up gay in the 1960s. Alongside the personal stories, the
authors - Julie Mulcahy and Debbie Knowles - have consulted "the
experts" in order to provide practical commentary about complex
issues. The stories themselves are of hope and wisdom and
resilience. Julie and Debbie believe real stories of real lives are
the most interesting stories of all. Both of them had life-changing
experiences of their own. Could their experiences be helpful to
others? Julie wrote about living with her daughter's brain injury
and Debbie wrote about her brother's suicide. What had these
painful things taught them? They wondered how other people coped
with the things that had happened in their lives. They realised
that things go wrong, even in the most sunny, well-regulated
families. Put simply, if we can face up to these things, then there
is a lot to learn from the honesty and courage of the contributors
of these eight stories. Original works by New Zealand artist, Robyn
Gibson, cleverly echo the emotions described in each story.
