Sweet Grass

The girl in the dream

Sarah Coffey was brought into the world in 1961, and was assigned male at birth.

As a young child, she experienced feelings of being different – in her soul and her mind she was female.

It was only after navigating adolescence, early adulthood and the birth of her children that Sarah finally decided to listen to the feelings within her to become her true self.

Follow Sarah on her journey of discovery and self-love. At times raw and emotional, Sarah sheds light on a topic which can be confronting.

An authentic and powerful story, Sweet Grass: The girl in the dream will allow insight not only into Sarah’s own experiences but hopes to spread awareness around gender transitioning.

From beneath the ashes of war, loss and prejudice, Mae Baak clambered out cradling an ember that set everything she touched aflame. It’s the kind of fire that thaws your heart, a fire that refines you.

A fire that brings dead men back to life.

Just Balancing: Life on a Tightrope

Writing this book has been enlightening.

It has shown me my meaning through loss and trauma to raising babies, to mental abuse, to feel so loved by those around me and my husband and families support and ‘chillions’ of love.

I am forever grateful and blessed.

Self medicating mental health is the illness that you cannot see all our souls have meaning to feel productive to feel safe and needed.

The Farm

Memories of a Childhood on an Australian Rural Property

This book is a warm and amusing account of the author’s experiences in the 1970s and early ‘80s as she grew up on a rural property (Yarraglen) in Central West NSW. In these recollections, the author captures the charm and innocence of her rural childhood. The memoir has a fresh and witty voice. It provides the reader with an engaging snapshot of the resourcefulness, stoicism and pragmatism of Australian farmers. This book will resonate with readers who are interested in the minutiae and character of rural life in a period that was uncomplicated by screens, social media, and over-mechanisation.
