An updated edition of the profoundly moving and inspiring memoir from Australia's domestic violence crusader, Rosie Batty.
Rosie Batty knows pain no woman should have to suffer. Her son was killed by his father in a violent incident in February 2014, a horrendous event that shocked not only the nation, but the world. Greg Anderson murdered his 11-year-old son Luke and was then shot by police at the Tyabb cricket oval. Rosie had suffered years of family violence, and had had intervention and custody orders in place in an effort to protect herself and her son. Rosie has since become an outspoken and dynamic crusader against domestic violence, winning hearts and mind all over Australia with her compassion, courage, grace and forgiveness. In January 2015, Rosie was named Australian of the Year, 2015. Inspiring, heartfelt and profoundly moving, this is Rosie's story.

A Mother Story eBook Rosie Batty Bryce Corbett Reviews
- This is a true story book. It is heartbreaking this woman had to go through what she did. It shows a real side of what domestic violence survivors go through. How the court system fails families. It happens to too many people.
- I don't normally read this genre, but a friend spoke about the book and how it gave context to what happened and that there was much more than the culminating murder of her son.
We rely so much on the media for information when something like this happens and they at best provide a summary.
Reading the details and timeline provide by Rosie Batty of who she is and why she reacted and still reacts to situations resonated with me. It made me realise that those exposed to domestic terrorism are already isolated and are made to believe that they deserve their lives. So finding out what help there is available and which type of help they need must be a daunting task and that due to their lack of self esteem they probably back away at the first hurdle.
Those of us who have never had reason to seek professional help just assume that it is available to those who need it and more importantly that it works. The book highlights the disconnected truth and how at many junctures decisions if acted on by the professionals could have led to a different outcome for Luke. - Inspirational it is sad that Rosie Batty had to go through all of that before anybody took a . notice and by then it was too late . I cried buckets for this woman who tried every avenue she could to get the best for her son. ROSIE BATTY you deserved Australian of the year if for no other reason than your voice was finally heard.
- I don't know how to rate this book. It wasn't a pleasure to read and not one I would normally read but it was on my book club's reading list. It is a very traumatic story. It was terrible to hear about it in the media as well as Rosie's telling of it. Rosie has been a tremendous advocate for family violence, and rightly so. The book emphasised that both she and Greg, the father of her child were let down by the 'system', but also the fact that the perpetrators of this form of violence know how to play the system, and how to present themselves (or not) at court hearings. At the end of the book is a list of the agencies and help which can be accessed for this type of violence. I am very glad I did read it.
- This book is fantastic. I couldn't put it down. I have recently completed advocacy training at a domestic violence shelter and this book explains the timeline of violence (starting with emotional) so well and in a way that reaches and educates people. For those people that say "why doesn't she/he just leave the violent relationship" I implore them to read this book.
- My heart goes out to a truly unique mother
- How agonising it must have been for Rosie to write this story after already living through it. To be able to honestly document the beauty that she also had in her life besides all the pain and fear. Maybe just to remember the beauty at all after such a gut wrenching loss. Thank you for sharing this with us, especially those of us who also live with the guilt and grief of being a victim of domestic violence. And bless Luke.
- Brilliant insight to our failing family violence system. Love the fact names of officers and judges involved in this major festival of errors that took away her son!
