Rowe speaks frankly
Broadcaster Jessica Rowe will be at Castle Hill Library talking about her troubles to conceive, post-natal depression and life in general.
The talk will centre around her recently published memoir Is This My Beautiful Life?, in which she reveals herself as a woman who thought it would be easy to have it all, to do it all.
What was supposed to be her beautiful life derailed in an interruption of her television career accompanied by hurtful public trolling and her fears that she was failing as a mother.

Online help at HSC time
The HSC exams started this week in what can be a stressful time for students. BOSTES, the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards NSW, has a comprehensive website to help.
BOSTES president Thomas Alegounarias reminds the students to stay calm through the exams. "A little bit of stress is normal and can even help you," he said.
"But if you're feeling overwhelmed, don't bottle it up and make sure you speak to someone."
