About this listen

An inspiring, honest and intimate memoir about family, love and rising from the ashes.

From the age of twelve, Alison Mau wanted to be a journalist like her father. He was a beer-swilling, straight-talking Aussie who was rough around the edges but could quote passages of Hamlet at will. He taught Ali everything—from how to skin a rabbit and throw a punch to how to craft a sharp sentence—and she craved his validation as she navigated the sexist badlands of Australian print and television journalism through the 1980s and '90s.

From Melbourne to London and Auckland, Ali built a glittering career and became a media darling—until an unexpected call from her sister brought her professional and personal lives crashing together with devastating force. As an investigative reporter bringing New Zealand's #MeToo stories to light, she had to survey the wreckage of her family myth and ask herself, 'Am I strong enough?' and 'Are there words for this?'

An honest and raw autobiography. What an amazing woman! Alison shares her life story; nothing is held back. A woman abused by her father and the misogyny of our era. Despite it all she’s a fighter, not only for herself, but her family, her friends, and for everyone who has ever suffered abuse. Beautifully read with humility, humour, and the grace of the author. Alison Mau—Wahine Toa.

Brave, heart breaking, and beautiful.
