Jilya

A powerful memoir that explores how one Indigenous woman from the remote Pilbara transformed psychology. Already a 2024 bestseller for UQP.

Affliction strips us of our humanity – we become nothing – then a miracle happens and we realise the sufferer is us, all of us. Tracy Westerman makes us human and whole – read this and be better.

- Stan Grant

Validation and affirmation on every page. Tracy Westerman’s lived experience is our learning moment.

- Narelda Jacobs

A story of grit, insight and, especially, hope. Tracy Westerman, a luminous pioneer in the field of culture-informed psychology, writes with a powerful urgency and clarity that is sorely needed.
