You Talk We Die

Judy Ryan

‘They should do something,’ I groaned. Then a frightening prospect — they might be me! What the hell could I do? 
 
In July 2016, inner-city resident Judy Ryan found a young man — one of ‘her regulars’ — slumped and quiet at her gate. He had overdosed from heroin. Fortunately, that man lived. But Judy had reached breaking point. After four years in a ‘war zone’, where children might encounter a body on the streets, enough was enough. 
 
Knowing little about what she was getting into, but fired with resolve, Judy launched a grassroots campaign against apathy and prejudice. While the residents fought for their neighbourhood and for the right of those suffering from addiction to be treated with the needed care and respect, they would see three coroners’ reports, two elections, a private member’s bill, the police finally acknowledging that arresting their way out of the problem didn’t work, and more unnecessary deaths before the trial of a safe injecting facility was agreed to. 
 
A story of drugs, addiction, and a health crisis that touches people from all walks of life, You Talk, We Die is also a highly personal yet practical account of how an authentic local voice and an inclusive campaign can change the minds of business and political leaders to improve the lives of everyone in a community. 
 
‘Anyone who cares about humanity should read this inspiring story.’ JOHANN HARI

The Predator

Pat E. Robinson

THE PREDATOR written by PAT E. ROBINSON As a survivor of gut-wrenching inescapable domestic violence, Robinson has courageously stepped up to share her story in her book. She details the raw abusive, threatening actions and her distraught hopeless emotions that readers cannot help but feel alongside as she tells her story; many that may be relatable to readers. She had encountered violence in her own childhood but became emotionally resilient and fearless, until her life turned into a struggle when she met a man with a fatal attraction for her. Robinson was kidnapped, chained, beaten, sexually abused and controlled by this man’s remorseless evil nature. She was – desperate - broken - a woman who knew she would not be rescued after she found his arsenal of illegal weapons. Robinson encourages abuse victims to know that even in her darkest times, she learned what her faith in God could do for her. In fact, she credits her survival through the power of God’s love. While God encouraged Robinson to author her true story, she also received an encouraging word from best-selling novelist, Anna Quindlen. When asked about writing this book, Robinson said, “I wrote of my incredible personal experiences of the love of God with his restoration, that gave me peace, love, faith, and a hope and desire to help other victims.” Praise the Lord for giving me strength, courage, and patience to heal my hurt. And for His presence so near that showered me with His love and taught me to have faith in Him. I am so amazed with the Love of God and what He brought me through. Have faith, He will do it for you!
