All of It

Notes on public life, private joy and everything in between

About this book

A collection of witty and heartfelt essays about love, loss and ambition, from journalist and proud Gamilaroi woman Brooke Boney.
Brooke Boney has been in the public eye for well over a decade, first as a recognisable voice on triple j, and then as a recognisable face on The Today Show.
All of It draws us into her world, as she writes with honesty, humour and empathy about everything from the downsides of having a public profile to the joys of owning dogs, from the various forms of love that make up a life - romantic, familial, platonic - to how that love has been sustained through generations of colonisation and violence, and from the concerns that are a part of your early thirties - fertility, ageing, career progression - to discovering what's actually worth fighting for.
As a journalist, Brooke knows how to write a story, and these are her most personal stories yet.
'Raw, funny, at times deeply emotional ... Just magnificent.' ALLISON LANGDON
'From journalist and television presenter to columnist and cultural leader, Brooke has carved out a career that not only amplifies Aboriginal voices but also creates space for meaningful change ... Her insight, vision and talent are nothing short of extraordinary.' NAKKIAH LUI
'This book is warm, thoughtful and curious - just like Brooke.' MIRANDA TAPSELL
'A stunningly written meditation on fame, womanhood, Indigenous identity and the intersection of all three. Boney is an outstanding writer— every sentence is imbued with warmth and searing honesty ... I can't recommend it highly enough.'
JESSIE STEPHENS
' All of It made me feel so proud to be Brooke's friend. Powerful and moving writing.' TONY ARMSTRONG
'Open, vulnerable, insightful, funny - All of It is truly all of it - and a brilliant read.' JENNIFER ROBINSON
