Publisher's Summary
Grace Tame has never walked on middle ground.
From a young age, her life was defined by uncertainty—by trauma and strength, sadness and hope, terrible lows and wondrous highs. As a teenager she found the courage to speak up after experiencing awful and ongoing child sexual abuse. This fight to find her voice would not be her last.
In 2021 Grace stepped squarely into the public eye as the Australian of the Year, and was the catalyst for a tidal wave of conversation and action. Australians from all walks of life were inspired and moved by her fire and passion. She was using her voice and encouraging others to use theirs too.
The Ninth Life of a Diamond Miner is Grace's story, in Grace's words, on Grace's terms. Here she returns, again and again, to the things that have driven and saved her: love, connection and radical, unwavering honesty. Like Grace, this book is sharply intelligent, deeply felt, wildly unexpected and often blisteringly funny. And, as with all her work, it offers a constructive and optimistic vision for a better future for all of us.

Raw and honest
I binged this book. It’s easy to listen to, with light bits that break up the at times graphic raw pieces. I really appreciated her openness around life post trauma, drugs, alcohol, falling in love, and finding her feet. It’s very relatable

A Must Read, I couldn’t stop until the end
Undeniably a great memoir for such a true survivor & ambassador for the abuse of children. The Grace Tame Foundation will ensure we eradicate as much of these atrocities as possible. Well spoken Grace, you a true diamond as well!
