Former Queensland premier Anna Bligh knows something about hard
knocks and high walls. Growing up on the Gold Coast, the eldest
of four, she experienced the havoc cause by an alcoholic father
and the struggle when her parents finally separated.
In Through the Wall, Anna writes with her trademark honesty,
warmth and humour about the challenges that public and private
life have thrown her, and reflects candidly - as a wife, mother,
daughter, friend and political leader - on leadership,
resilience, community, family and the human spirit. This is not a
traditional political autobiography, but rather an account of
the value and rewards of public life by a woman who's broken
through plenty of barriers in her time.
