The Extraordinary True Story of a Bond Beyond WordsBy Marie SiochanaRecorded TrackLength1h 1m
About this audiobook
She never spoke a single word.
She followed me everywhere.
She trusted me completely.
And somewhere along the way, she became my daughter.
When Marie meets a withdrawn young child living in increasingly concerning conditions on a rural property in Queensland, she cannot ignore what she sees. As concern becomes responsibility, and responsibility becomes love, an extraordinary bond begins to reshape both of their lives.
Then the unthinkable happens.
A devastating accident is followed by a life-threatening autoimmune disease, forcing Marie to make impossible decisions to save the child she has come to love as her own.
Rosella Prickletail is a deeply personal memoir about caregiving, resilience, healing, and the ways love can redefine family.
Only in the final chapter does the reader discover the truth that has quietly existed from the very beginning—a revelation that changes everything except the love at the heart of the story.
An unforgettable true story of a bond beyond words.
