‘Your past doesn’t have to define your present or your future.’
Where's the Red Button? is an inspirational true story of heartbreak and hope – how Lavinia Wilson survives family abuse and state ‘care’, and finds a way to overcome the past.
‘Remarkably poignant.’ Tim Costello AO, former CEO World Vision Australia
‘Inspiring.’ Lisa McInnes Smith, speaker and author
‘Heart wrenching, unflinching, yet ultimately hopeful.’
Lily Bragge, author of 'My Dirty Shiny Life'
‘A beautiful model for those still struggling with their pain.’
Tom Hallas, YWAM Asia Pacific.
When Lavinia is four years old, her dad takes her to the scariest ride at the Melbourne Show. Before they get on, her big sister tells her, 'If you get scared, press the red button to get off.'
It's a set-up – there is no red button. Neither Lavinia nor her sister Mel can escape the ride. Or the father who threatens to kill them, in their home full of guns, junk and misery. Lavinia is desperate and gutsy, and she runs away. But the institutions that take her in don't give love and security either. By adulthood she is tired of fighting for survival…until she finds her red button.
