Spread the word. Our Pozible campaign for Tears, Laughter, Champagne is now live!

On 18 January 2003, four bushfires that had been burning in the Brindabella mountains for more than a week combined and roared into Canberra’s south-western suburbs, destroying 500 homes and claiming four lives.

Have you ever wondered what happened to the people behind the headlines?

Tears, Laughter, Champagne is the story of nine women who forged an unbreakable bond in the weeks and months following the fires, brought together by the one thing they had in common, loss. In this cookbook come memoir these ‘Singed Sisters’ recount their fifteen year journey from the day the fires changed their lives. Share in their story of recovery through the recipes that gathered them together and celebrated the milestones of rebuilding what was lost.

As devastating bushfires become part of life for so many communities around Australia this book will serve as a reminder of the enduring nature of friendship, good food, and great champagne in tough times. This book is also a chance for the Singed Sisters to pay forward the charity and kindness they received in the aftermath of the fires. All profits from the sale of this book will go to YWCA Canberra – chosen by the Singed Sisters because of their work in housing support, child care services and family counselling as well as their advocacy on gender equity and women in leadership.

To make this book a reality there are some upfront costs to cover such as photography, design, layout and printing. The Singed Sisters have been talking about this book for over a decade now – they are ready to make it happen. And with just a little bit of help from you through our Pozible campaign it will!

We would be very grateful if you could share this email with friends and family who might also like to support Tears, Laughter, Champagne. Thank you!
