Based on a true story
A powerful and compassionate novel about illness, identity and the will to live.
Set in 1950s Australia, A Dangerous Daughter follows Ivy, a teenage girl from an immigrant family standing on the threshold of adulthood while silently battling undiagnosed anorexia nervosa. In a world shaped by shame, silence and misunderstanding, Ivy must confront The Voice - the relentless inner presence that threatens to destroy her.
Written with psychological precision and deep empathy, this novel blends lived experience with fiction to explore the struggle between the pull of self-destruction and the force of survival. Through psychoanalysis, Ivy begins a fragile journey toward understanding, resilience and hope.
Based on true events from the author's life, A Dangerous Daughter offers a moving portrayal of mental illness that educates as much as it heals. Ivy's story speaks to anyone who has lived with mental health challenges, eating disorders, or the burden of being misunderstood - and to those who love them.
