When Wendyl Nissen's mother was suffering with Alzheimer’s, she told some extraordinary stories about her background that Wendyl had never heard before. Determined to get to the bottom of these family secrets, Wendyl found some wild and intriguing stories of loss, grief, and love. She uncovered new relatives, deeply sad adoptions, harsh parenting, complex marriages, and a few rogues.
About the speaker
Wendyl Nissen is a journalist, broadcaster and former magazine editor who is the author of 11 books, mostly about living a chemical-free, old-fashioned life, and also a memoir about her mother's life and illness with dementia. She left the corporate world 22 years ago and now lives in the Hokianga with her husband, 14 chickens (and counting), two cows, two dogs and three stray cats.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
