WINNER OF THE MATT RICHELL AWARD FOR BEST NEW WRITER OF THE YEAR

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2025 INDIE BOOK AWARDS, BIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR

Gina Chick, the inaugural winner of Alone Australia, tells the story of her extraordinary, indomitable life in one of the most powerful, moving memoirs you will ever read.

From day one of her wildly unconventional childhood, Gina blazed her own trail, which led her to dance through a hidden world of ’90s nightlife and into the arms of a conman. She fled to the wilderness to find healing, began a wondrous love affair with the deepest lessons life (and death) can offer, and found that all the answers are written in the wisdom of the body and the whirling silence of stars.

If you’re ready to get lost in jungles, wander into wolf-dens, sing with storms, rescue orphaned animals, dive to the depths, dance till your knees give out, find yourself by losing it all, and most of all, be real––this book is for you. 

We Are the Stars is a magic carpet ride through the exquisite mystery of the human heart. You’ve never read anything like it.
