Brave New Girls - Well Beings, Well Planet

For full support on these issues please go to REFUGE

If you’re interested in learning more about how fiction helps us explore difficult topics then listen to this week’s guest Sarah Pearse No.1 Sunday Times & NY Times author of THE SANATORIUM & THE RETREAT a Reese Witherspoon Bookclub pick with over 1 Million copies sold worldwide.
The 3rd in the Trilogy ‘The Wilds’ includes themes of coercive control. Sarah has subsequently teamed up with the charity Refuge to highlight the issue even more.
Sarah opens our minds to tough issues that we may be facing in our lives, using the power and safety of fiction.
