In country Australia, nobody is talking about alcohol abuse. But Shanna Whan is. There’s no one better qualified to do so than a girl from the country who nearly died in front of her community from alcohol abuse. Shanna was a journalist and rural photographer by day and an alcoholic by night - her relationship with booze tangled in trauma and fuelled by a socially acceptable and glorified national pastime.
On the precipice of turning forty, Shanna would survive a series of blows that would change her life forever.
