Episode 85: Indira Naidoo on her achingly beautiful <em>The Space Between the Stars</em>

When popular broadcaster Indira Naidoo lost her youngest sister to suicide she was plunged into a darkness like no other. Heartbroken and wracked with grief and guilt, her immediate response upon hearing the news was to flee to Sydney’s Botanic Gardens and seek solace between a towering Moreton Bay tree that she came to think of as her own.

The Space Between the Stars is her achingly beautiful account of how that tree and a rediscovery of many other aspects  of nature – from birds to weeds to stars to  puddles - enabled her draw on her reserves of resilience, to heal and to find joy once again.
