Book Launch: 'I Can See Clearly Now' by Colleen Ashby
Event Information
About this Event
It was 2017 in Perth Western Australia when Colleen Ashby had a heart transplant. Post-operation, Colleen couldn’t see. She'd lost 95% of her sight but in her words, 'To tell you the truth, I’m grateful I still have 5%. I’d have been really pissed off if I’d lost it all. But 5%? I can cope.'
What makes Colleen grateful? What makes her believe she can cope with such limited vision when for most of us it would be an insurmountable life event?
When you read her story, you too will 'see clearly now.'
Colleen epitomises no regrets, resilience and a lust for life. Her memoir is filled with laughter, some despair and mostly good old true-blue determination.
We're looking forward to having you join us at the launch of this amazing, insightful, emotive book and listen to Colleen talk about her challenges and most importantly, her successes.
