Do you ever wonderaEUR|. how other people cope with trauma, grief and tragedy? how other people rise from their lows? how other people find peace after pain? Campfire for the Heart answers these questions through powerful and compelling, true stories of human resilience. By learning how other people have converted their darkest times to personal growth and success, you may discover how you too can learn and grow from your hardships, how you can be the hero of your journey, or help others in theirs.

The storytellers are mostly unknown heroes of their personal journeys, while others are well-known champions of resilience - Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton, celebrity chef Matt Golinski, Steve Parish OAM and Gayle Shann - while cave-diving legend and Co-Australian of the Year 2019, Dr Craig Challen, opens the book with a foreword.
