In Australia, 1400 people are currently on the wait list for an organ transplant. In 2017 organ donations transformed the lives of 1675 people – but just as there are two halves of the heart, there are two sides to every story. Brisbane author – Josephine Moon’s new novel The Gift Of Life seeks to give a voice to each of these stories. Alternating between the viewpoints of an organ recipient and the donor’s family, is a profound exploration of the resilience and triumph of the human spirit.
Josephine will be telling us about her research for this novel as well as sharing her writing journey. Books will be available for signing and purchase on the night.
From the bestselling author of The Chocolate Promise and Three Gold Coins comes a colourful and heartwarming story about a cafe owner who is given a new chance at life after receiving a heart transplant – but her new life comes at a price.
