Book Synopsis

A FASCINATING, FAST-PACED MEMOIR by award-winning journalist Charlotte Glennie, who survived a near-fatal accident and went on to break new ground reporting across Asia during major world events. From being the first NZ correspondent to film in North Korea, telling stories from the farflung edges of China, Mongolia and Russia, reporting live in the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami that killed over 230,000 people, to battling monsoon rains in the world's largest refugee camp in southern Bangladesh, Charlotte writes about people living in extreme circumstances, and what it is like to be there alongside them.

Set in New Zealand, Australia, Asia and Europe, this gripping memoir explores resilience, bravery, and how to make every second count.
