About the episode
Beloved Australian author Jackie French took the time to share her experience being homeless as a teenager. It's a very raw and honest account of events that Jackie kept secret both at the time and throughout her life. We felt it was vital to include Jackie's story as she told it; a young girl who loved reading and writing, forced onto the street, determined to make it to university and a better life. We thank Jackie for joining us in conversation this month as we highlight homelessness in our communities for Blanket to the Border.
