About this listen
‘Unlike anything I have ever read before. I can't wait to give this book to everyone I love. Read it.' HUGH JACKMAN
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 listen to.
From day one of her wildly unconventional childhood, Gina Chick blazed her own trail, which led her to dance through the hidden world of 90's Sydney nightlife 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 'til your knees wobble, fall in love, 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.
"I am a storm wrapped in skin", writes Gina Chick in this book full of bliss, sorrow, earth and stars. I love Gina's courage, her strength and her joy. Above all I admire the life force that guides her through the worst of times to emerge on the other side of that dark river with a truly rare perspicacity. A wild, creaturely memoir that shows us how to really live.' CHARLOTTE WOOD, author of Stone Yard Devotional
'Want to know what it's like to spend time with someone so funny and wise and so brutally honest that your jaw is permanently on the floor and your heart is singing? This memoir quite simply broke me open. Her powerful poetic mixture of truth, humour, hard-fought wisdom and unblinking authenticity radiates from every page.' HUGH JACKMAN
‘Gina's eyes are wolf, her limbs the trees, her heart a moon, her mind the sea. We Are the Stars is an exhilarating story of a life uncontained and it will travel with me forever … an excellent manual for making a friend of life's intrepid roads and the wisdom that ensues. Let her words churn you up and inspire you to admire your deepest sorrows, laugh when you shouldn't and above all, make a god of curiosity.' POH LING YEOW
‘There's nobody like Gina Chick and this book pulses with her intelligence, authenticity and vulnerability, but most of all, with her passionate love of life.' LEIGH SALES, author of Any Ordinary Day
‘A book like a huge wave of saltwater; raw and real and true. Chick has gathered a whole life's worth of lessons, recorded them here with honesty, and the result is a completely unique philosophy of life. It wrecked me and woke me the fuck up.' BRI LEE, author of Eggshell Skull
‘We Are the Stars is as much a force of nature as Gina Chick herself. In staring unflinchingly into the cruellest of losses, this book is wise, fierce and unexpectedly life-affirming.' BENJAMIN LAW, author of The Family Law

OMG. I remember too.
Feminine Ecstacy and truth in the dance of duality we call home. My practice is to say "yes" to reality and "no" to the self that feels safest making it up and demanding the Universe delivers.

Powerful
What an amazing woman. There is a childlike wonder and raw honesty in this book I adored and there is also a part of this book that is nearly too hard to listen to. You will cry your eyes out. This is the story or a real person. What a woman!

An absolute triumph!
It's hard to find the words to do this book justice - it's absolutely superb! I didn’t want it to end. Raw, beautiful, poetic, funny, and heartbreakingly real, this is the best book I’ve listened to in ages. Gina's exquisite honesty and her journey of self-discovery are captivating, making you feel every moment alongside her. She’s almost otherworldly, both in the story and in the way she tells it. I can’t recommend this book highly enough!

Gina's writing is exquisite!
I felt like I was growing up with her and rediscovering my own life at the same time! The narration of this memoir reads like an enthralling story that speaks to the inner child, that shining essence that exists amongst the wreckage of devastating storms.
