I posted Talking To My Country by #StanGrant (#HarperCollinsPublishers) on my #bookcovers and #firstsentences homage series on #Instagram today.

The book has sat in my TBR pile on my #Kindle for far too long. But Grant's announcement that he was stepping away from #ABCAustralia to help mend his mental health has spurred me to read it. And now I wish I'd done so earlier, especially after Grant's emotional message to his abusers on #QandA last night!

Because the opening paragraph in his 2016 book could have been written yesterday:

These are the things I want to say to you. These things I have held inside or even worse run from. It is not easy, what I have to say, and it should not be easy. These are things that tear at who we are. These are the things that kill, that spread disease and madness. These are the things that drive people to suicide, that put us in prisons and steal our sight.
