Emily Conolan is a writer and teacher, who is also known for her humanitarian work. For her role in establishing a volunteer support network for asylum seekers in Tasmania, she has been awarded Tasmanian of the Year, Hobart Citizen of the Year, and the Tasmanian Human Rights Award. The stories of courage and resilience she has heard in the course of her work with refugees, combined with tales from her own family history, inspired her to write the Freedom Finders series. Emily has never escaped from terrorists or risked her life on a leaky boat, but she has been inside immigration detention and does own a pen with a secret compartment inside.
'I've never read any WWII stories from the Italian perspective, nor considered how WWII affected immigration and industry in Australia...If you're looking for a fun adventure - one where you, the reader, make the most important choices in the story - then this book is certainly for you!' Melana, 18
