Susanne Gervay OAM is an incredible woman - and first generation feminist to boot! After surviving her father's death, a marriage breakdown and cancer, she decided to turn her pain into self-empowerment by writing to bring joy to the lives of her own children, and those around the world, telling stories to uplift them and to inspire them to use their own voices. And as a result, she has received worldwide recognition for her writing and commitment to literacy.
