Author: Amanda Ortlepp ISBN: 9781925030600 RRP: $29.99 Claiming Noah is a confronting book that is going to be hard reading for some.

Author: Fiona Higgins ISBN: 978-1-74331-026-7 RRP: $29.99 Wife On The Run is so completely relatable that I found myself drawn further and further into the narrative and didn’t want to put it down.
