Unfinished Business - a survivor defies the odds of Australia’s Court System (Part 1)

Today's episode is part one of a two part series. Part two will be available this coming Thursday.

For reasons that will become apparent, our guest has chosen to remain anonymous.

Raised mostly in a single father household alongside her sister, our guest's upbringing was far from ordinary. Her relationship with her turbulent mother added to the complexity of her early years, as her mother's attempts to be involved often resulted in further pain and confusion.

Today, our guest is a law abiding citizen, who has had a long career in social work. Her past, however, was anything but. Despite being a smart kid, full of promise and adored by her father and teachers, she found herself developing a severe heroin addiction, and a subsequent lifestyle of crime to support that addiction.
