Description of the Book
Saroo Brierley’s journey home to a small
village in India with the help of Google Earth became an internationally
bestselling book and inspired the major motion picture LION. But the story of
how his adoptive mother, Sue, came into his life half a world away in Tasmania
is every bit as riveting.
In this uplifting and deeply personal book Sue reveals for the first time her
own traumatic childhood. The daughter of a violent alcoholic whose business
gambles left her family destitute, she grew up in geographic and emotional
isolation. When Sue married and broke free of her father she was determined to
also sever the cycle of despair, and made the selfless decision not to have a
biological child. Instead, inspired by a vision she’d had as a young girl, she
chose to adopt two children in need – Saroo and Mantosh. Little did she imagine
that twenty-five years later she would be portrayed on screen by another
Australian mother who chose to adopt – Nicole Kidman.
Moving and inspiring, Lioness explores the myth of motherhood, how families are formed in many ways, and
how love and perseverance can bring us together.
