  Back After the Break: a memoir...

  The bestselling and ABIA Award shortlisted memoir from Osher Gunsberg, one of Australia's most loved celebrities, about life, love and living with mental illness - powerful, dark, funny and heartwrenching.  
    
  It's hard to remember a time when Osher Gunsberg (or Andrew G as he was then) wasn't on TV - he's just always been there, looking at ease in the spotlight, beaming a big smile, with a questionable haircut. He was there hanging out with The Offspring backstage at the Warped Tour on Channel V; announcing to a national audience of three million people that Guy Sebastian was our first Australian Idol; and later capturing the heart of the nation by hosting every season of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and now Bachelor in Paradise. 
  But while everything looks great from the outside, the real picture has not always been quite so rosy. Osher has always known he's different to most other people. Struggling with anxiety, panic attacks and weight issues since he was young, he tried for years to drink away the anxiety and depression. He ended up unemployed, divorced, suicidal and certifiable on the other side of the world, yet somehow he managed to put the broken pieces of his mind back together and make a life for himself again. He lives with a mental illness - and he's come to terms with it to live an authentic, rich and fulfilling life. 
  An honest, revealing, raw, funny and heartfelt memoir from one of Australia's most well-known and well-liked celebrities - now with two new, additional chapters.

  Courage to Be Me is a raw and uplifting memoir of resilience, self-discovery, and the unyielding strength it takes to rebuild a life. 
   
  Di shares her journey of seeking validation and self-worth while balancing the demands of nursing, a turbulent marriage, and motherhood.

  Alongside her health battle, Di reflects on the profound impact of her father's death, her mother's struggle with dementia, and the complexities of love, duty, and family bonds. 
   
  Her professional journey weaves through challenges of workplace bullying, ultimately shaping her understanding of leadership, empathy, and courage. Determined to reclaim her independence, Di takes the leap into business ownership - transforming hardship into purpose and building a legacy of compassionate care. 
   
  At its heart, Courage to Be Me is a testament to determination, empowerment, and the triumph of never giving up - even when the world insists you are not enough.

  The Unravelling of Samantha X.  
   
  ‘I wanted to go back to the real me, Amanda Goff. Yet there was just one problem. I had no idea who she was. I had no idea who I was. I hadn’t been Amanda for years, decades. Samantha wasn’t leaving just yet; she wasn’t going to make a quiet exit. She wasn’t that type of woman.’ 
   
  Amanda Goff was a successful journalist in London and Sydney before ditching her nine-to-five job at the age of 38 to become Samantha X, Australia’s most famous escort. A bipolar diagnosis changed everything: she retired from sex work, walked away from Samantha X, and went in search of Amanda.  
   
  Misfit is her third memoir – but the first written as ‘herself’. Raw, honest, provocative, wise and often laugh-out-loud funny, this is an unflinching record of her journey along the bumpy path to healing and self-acceptance. Beyond confronting her bipolar disorder and addiction issues, Amanda must also contend with prejudice and judgement, lingering trauma from her earlier life, and her own crushing self-doubt. As she struggles with the realities of so-called normality, the persistent voice of Samantha X is there to remind her of a former life that offered power, money, fame – and protection from the challenges that Amanda has courageously chosen to tackle head-on. 
   
  ‘Written with raw honesty, extraordinary courage and non-stop brio’ PROFESSOR GORDON PARKER, founder, the Black Dog Institute
