About

For six years, Darling Humans lived inside her — in notebooks, in the hours before the world woke. Now it steps into the light.

Join Grace Heers for an afternoon at Maleny Retreat: live music from Cardie Boydell drifting through a candle-lit room, good company, conversation, and words from the book spoken aloud for the first time.

It's the story of a woman who left the safety of Maleny for the pulse of Kings Cross, looking for adventure — and found her own reflection instead, in the people the world walks past without seeing. A memoir about bearing witness. About mercy finding its way into the darkest places. About what it costs, and gives, when she refuses to look away.

Now Grace returns to where it began, with the story that came out of it.

It also falls a week after Grace's sixty-fourth birthday. Blooming late is exactly the point.

You'll leave with more than an afternoon well spent: a signed copy tied with ribbon, and an exquisite hand-crafted bookmark.
