“Gritty, raw & haunting” ~ “Redeeming & uplifting”

An epic tale sweeping across two lifetimes, Finding Mary Jane bridges the gap between the erotic haze of Brisbane’s nineteen seventies to the city's wild alternate punk scene a decade later - and takes us on a journey far beyond.

Our story begins with Mary Jane - a naive nursing student who finds herself in an unspeakable situation. Then we meet Annie - a troubled young woman whose story is based in more modern times as she searches for her birth mother and, in turn, the truth of her own identity.

Become part of this impossibly compelling tale highlighting motherhood, adversity, and conquering strength with a cast of characters that will stay with you forever. Finding Mary Jane is a tapestry that showcases the enduring force of mother’s love and the ultimate bond of powerful spiritual connection between two women borne through one another’s hardship.

Finding Mary Jane is an inspirational must-listen for anyone who has ever been made to feel less than worthy and is especially intended for members of the adoptive community.

“As an adopted woman and triumphant survivor of multiple traumas including domestic violence, homelessness, substance abuse, self-harm, sexual assault, and a horrific eating disorder I find myself in the unique and inspiring position to be able to offer comfort to those affected by similar hardships.”
