06.01.2022 The Changing Room has been shortlisted for the Society of Women's Writers NSW book awards! This gem is contemporary women's fiction at its best, inspired by the experiencs behind the charity Dress For Success. A heartwarming read that proves sometimes losing everything leads you towards freedom, and that hope can be found in the unlikeliest of places. With a new book brewing for 2021, Christine Sykes is definitely an author to watch!
