At age 15, Jas Rawlinson was a young girl drowning in depression, trying her best to keep treading water against the tides of family violence and suicidal thoughts that threatened to drag her under. 

For years, she fought to stay afloat, waiting for everything to change… and then, suddenly, it did. But what followed next, was something she never saw coming.

In this moment, Jas had to make a choice; to dig deep and find a new path forward, or to succumb to her trauma forever.

Determined to take control of her life, Jas remembered the promise she made to herself as a young girl; a promise to one day be a voice for other women and children trapped in fear and silence… and so, one step at a time, she began to re-write her story.

Now a global speaker, anti-human trafficking ambassador, and best-selling author, Jas tells her story in full for the very first time.

Featuring never-before-shared tales of her private investigations into human trafficking and exploitation…

…and shining a vulnerable and courageous light onto what it takes to re-write trauma into triumph, 'The Stories We Carry' is the most empowering book you'll read this year.

Featuring inspiring stories from both everyday and high-profile survivors of mental illness and trauma, ‘Reasons to Live One More Day, Every Day’ is the bestselling, internationally-renowned series changing and saving lives. 

Through the power of lived-experience storytelling, each book follows the lives of 10 remarkable humans from around the world, who have found the courage to rise above adversity.

Endorsed by major figures such as Lifeline, Kevin Hines, Livin, News Corp Australia and more, ‘Reasons to Live’ is more than a book — it’s a movement with the power to save lives.
