Author Kylie Ladd will be visiting Nagambie Library on Thursday, April 27 to share her heartbreaking, funny, thought-provoking new book, I’ll leave you with this.

Ms Ladd is a novelist, psychologist and freelance writer. Her five previous novels have been published in Australia and overseas, and her previous book The way back has been optioned for film.

Her sixth book follows four sisters after the passing of their brother.

The O’Shea sisters couldn’t be more different. Allison, an obstetrician, has always put others before herself and is torn between her job and young family.

Film director Bridie hasn’t had work in over a decade, though her actor husband is on the brink of stardom.

Clare, desperate for a baby, is bereft when her wife leaves her after their latest IVF failure and Emma, the youngest, has turned to God to fill the aching loneliness in her life.

When their only brother Daniel is killed, the four women drift even further apart.

Then, on the third anniversary of Daniel's death, Clare proposes an idea: they should trace the many recipients saved by his donated organs. Can their brother's gift of life bring them back together again?

Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event.

Kylie Ladd will be at Nagambie Library at 6.30pm, Thurdsay, April 27. To join, contact Goulburn Valley Libraries on 1300 374 765 or email nagambie@gvlibraries.com.au
