Author and lawyer, Brooke Forbes visited 8CCC Brekky Show to chat about her new book Survival is an Instinct, being launched on Saturday 2.30pm at Red Kangaroo Books. This book is a personal essay on survival, recovery and reclaiming your future; embedded with a series of short stories written from Brooke’s early university days to her post-psychosis reality. The short stories focus on how big small relationships are, turning points and the beauty within the suburban sprawl. The personal essay shines a light on the importance of creativity and expression in recovery.
