After 67 days dancing in the moss and unforgettable moments of searing vulnerability, Gina was the last person standing, and the second woman to win an Alone solo challenge. Her determination, passion, and love of the natural world endeared her to more than 5.5 million people around Australia.
We Are the Stars is Gina’s first book.
