10 PACK - The Stories We Carry

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.

“From human trafficking and sexual abuse to suicide and mental health, Jas Rawlinson is unflinching in her commitment to talking about issues that others won’t. This is not just a book about trauma...it generously shares the tools needed to transform your pain into purpose and hopelessness into healing.”  – Sherry Lukey, International EFT Tapping Expert

“The Stories We Carry is an open insight into facing and overcoming types of trauma that can debilitate the best of us. Reading of these experiences and the ability of oneself to rise above them invokes hope for those that may feel there is none.” – Glen Hulley, founding CEO of Australian Registered Charity, Project Karma.

“The Stories We Carry is a book that will change the way you think about mental health, trauma, and the stories we tell ourselves.” – Matt Newlands, Speaker | Counsellor | Mental Health Advocate.

Raw, unapologetic, and so incredibly hopeful. Women experience the world in such a unique way, and while Jas’ stories are hers, they are also ours. Trafficking, domestic violence and trauma are experiences that many women face, and I know many women will relate to Jas’ words, her experiences, and her triumphs over extraordinary adversity. We need books like The Stories We Carry. Books that are honest, heartbreaking and real. Stories that are our own. Thank you Jas for your courage and perseverance.” – Jonty Bush, Australian MP
