Description
by Gina Chick (Author)
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.
WINNER OF THE MATT RICHELL AWARD FOR BEST NEW WRITER OF THE YEAR SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2025 INDIE BOOK AWARDS, BIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR 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.Author Biography
Gina Chick is a rewilding facilitator, adventurer, writer, and speaker. Writing is in Gina Chick's genes. Her grandmother, Charmian Clift, was an author, essayist, and Australia's first female columnist in the early 60's. Charmian married George Johnstone (My Brother Jack) and they lived together on Hydra with Leonard Cohen and bohemian expats. Charmian's teenage indiscretion, an illegitimate daughter, was given up for adoption. Gina's mom, Suzanne Chick, who, after finally discovering her mother's identity at 48, wrote her own book, Searching For Charmian, which was shortlisted for the NBC Banjo Award. Gina was one of ten participants in the first series of Alone Australia in 2023. After 67 days of unforgettable moments of searing vulnerability, Gina was the last person standing, and the second woman to win an Alone solo challenge. Her determination, passion, and love of the natural world endeared her to more than 5.5 million people around Australia. Gina's articles have been published in The Guardian and elsewhere.
