As children, Lexie and Annie were incredibly close. Bonded by the death of their beloved father, they weathered the storms of life together. When Lexie leaves home to follow her dream, Annie is forced to turn to her leather-bound journal as the only place she can confide her deepest secrets and fears . . .

As adults, sisters Lexie and Annie could not be more different. Lexie is a successful doctor and happily engaged. Annie is an addict, a thief, a liar and unable to remain clean. When Annie’s newborn baby is in danger of being placed in foster care, she picks up the phone to beg her sister for help. Will Lexie agree to take in her young niece? And how will Annie survive, losing the only thing in her life worth living for?

What do you do when your sister, an addict, tells you she’s pregnant and needs your help? Before I Let You Go is the stunning new novel from Kelly Rimmer, internationally bestselling Australian author of The Secret Daughter, Me Without You and When I Lost You.

KELLY RIMMER lives in rural NSW with her husband, two children and fantastically naughty dogs, Sully and Basil. Her novels have been translated into more than 20 languages.

Your sister needs you, but her child needs you more. A moving page-turner with a heart-pounding dilemma: Your sister or her baby? Who do you choose?

THE LEBSMichael Mohammed AhmadTrade Paperback 9780733639012 | $27.99 Ebook 9780733639029 | $14.99 | Hachette Australia

‘Bani Adam thinks he’s better than us!’ they say over and over until finally I shout back, ‘Shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up, I have something to say!’

They all go quiet and wait for me to explain myself, redeem myself, pull my shirt out, rejoin the pack. I hold their anticipation for three seconds, and then, while they’re all ablaze, I say out loud, ‘I do think I’m better.’

Bani Adam is a student at Punchbowl Boys High School, which seems like the arse end of the earth, and the students don’t seem to care. The Lebs control the school, and Bani feels at odds – a romantic in a sea of hyper-masculinity.

Bani must come to terms with his place in a world of hostility and hopelessness – with a dream of having so much more.

MICHAEL MOHAMMED AHMAD is an Arab-Australian writer, editor, teacher and community arts worker. He is the founder and director of Sweatshop, a literacy movement in Western Sydney devoted to empowering culturally and linguistically diverse artists through creative writing. Mohammed’s essays and short stories have appeared in the Sydney Review of Books, Guardian, Heat, Seizure, The Lifted Brow, The Australian and Coming of Age: Australian Muslim Stories. His debut novel, The Tribe, received a 2015 Sydney Morning Herald Best Young Australian Novelists of the Year Award. Mohammed received his Doctorate of Creative Arts at Western Sydney University in 2017.

A confronting new novel from award-winning Sydney Morning Herald Best Young Novelist Michael Mohammed Ahmad.

KELLY RIMMER As a child my favourite book was . . . Johanna Spyri’s Heidi. I remember the awe I felt reading it for the first time – how miraculous it seemed that an author could use mere words to transport me from Western Sydney to the Swiss Alps! It felt like magic.

Before I Let You Go was inspired by . . . the complex relationship between sisters, and the impact of real-world laws around addiction in some US states.

Describe Before I Let You Go in a sentence. Sisters Annie and Lexie Vidler share an intense bond after a difficult childhood – but Annie’s addiction stretches that bond to its limits, particularly once her daughter Daisy is born.

When I’m not writing I . . . am, for better or worse, thinking about writing.

My favourite place to curl up with a book is . . . any place is a good place for reading!

ENJOYING RETIREMENT Michael LonghurstTrade Paperback 9780733639821 | $29.99 Ebook 9780733639838 | $16.99 | Hachette Australia

In 1964, 8% of the population were aged 65 and over. In 2014, it was 15%. In fifty years, the number of older people in Australia more than tripled, from 948,100 to 3.4 million. These trends are predicted to continue into the future, particularly as the baby boomer generation ages.

Based on population projections by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, by 2064 there will be 9.6 million people aged 65 and over. That means Australia already has millions of retirees, and is about to have even more. In all likelihood, most of them will not feel ready for the next phase of their lives. Enjoying Retirement exposes the myths surrounding retirement and explains why so many people are unprepared for it.

MICHAEL LONGHURST has worked as a consulting psychologist who has specialised in the psychological challenges people face at key turning points in their lives, from adolescence to bereavement. He is an internationally-published author and leading authority in the area of adjustment to retirement.

This essential book provides advice on relationships with partners and family, skills in conflict resolution, maintaining financial stability, dealing with issues such as loss, and, most importantly, living a full and happy life in retirement.

THE WOMEN’S BRAIN BOOKDr Sarah McKayTrade Paperback 9780733638527 | $29.99 Ebook 9780733638534 | $16.99 | Hachette Australia

This is not a book about the differences between male and female brains, nor a book using neuroscience to explain gender-specific behaviours, the ‘battle of the sexes’ or ‘Mars-Venus’ stereotypes. This is a book about what happens to the brains of women as they cycle through the phases of life, which are unique to females by virtue of their biology and in particular their hormones.

In this book Dr McKay will give insights into brain development during infancy, childhood and the teenage years (including the onset of puberty) and also take a look at mental health as well as the ageing brain.

The Women’s Brain Book will weave together findings from the research lab, interviews with neuroscientists and other researchers working in the disciplines of neuroendocrinology, brain development, brain health and ageing, and stories and case studies where relevant.

DR SARAH McKAY is an Oxford-educated, respected neuroscientist and the founder of the Neuroscience Academy. She specialises in translating brain science research into simple, actionable strategies for peak performance, creativity, health and wellbeing.

For women, understanding how their brain works is essential to understanding their health – and lives.

True love hurts, but Juliette knows it’s worth all the pain . . .

THE WONDER DOWN UNDER Nina Brochmann and Ellen Støkken DahlTrade Paperback 9781473666900 | $32.99 Ebook 9781473666917 | $16.99 | Yellow Kite

The Wonder Down Under explains everything you ever wanted to know about the vagina but didn’t dare ask. Learn the truth about the clitoris’ inner life, the menstrual hormone dance and whether the vaginal orgasm really exists. The book helps you understand how different types of contraception work in the body, what a “normal” vulva looks like and how wearing socks can change your sex life.

Medical students and sex educators Nina Brochmann and Ellen Støkken Dahl draw on their medical expertise to bring vagina enlightenment to the world. Their no-nonsense approach, written with great humour, makes this a must-read for women (and men!) of all ages.

Say goodbye to the myths and misconceptions surrounding female anatomy. This is a timely and empowering book that will inspire women to make informed choices about their sexual health.

NINA BROCHMANN and ELLEN STØKKEN DAHL are Oslo-based medical students who have, for several years, worked as educators in sexual health advising young people and minority groups. In 2015 they started the blog The Genital Area, with the aim of dispelling myths around female sexual health.

You might have thought you knew your own genitals. Think again!

Karen Hamilton’s The Perfect Girlfriend is a frightening depiction of unbridled obsession, where love and pure hatred grapple on a knife edge . . .
