Synopsis

Robyn's story is one of resilience, overcoming adversity, empowering others and driving positive change. She tells of a childhood dogged by domestic violence; a promising athletics career; 35 years as a professional soldier who helped vulnerable women and children in war zones. Her determination and self-belief saw her complete the grueling Commando selection course and become the first woman in Australia to wear the coveted Green Beret. She faced her mortality - both on the battlefield and also unexpectedly in civilian life. A compelling, brave and inspirational memoir with a message!
