Description
Those Tracks on My Face by Barbara Holborow, with Cliff Neville and Janet Fife-Yeomans, is a compelling account that blends memoir with powerful insights into the lives of children in crisis. Drawing from her years of experience as a respected Children’s Court magistrate in Australia, Holborow shares the real stories of the vulnerable young people who appeared before her—and the adults who tried, and sometimes failed, to guide them.
This bestselling book is both deeply personal and highly practical. Holborow reflects on her own life journey while offering heartfelt and hard-earned advice for parents, caregivers, and professionals working with children. With honesty, compassion, and a sharp eye for justice, she challenges readers to see beyond troubled behaviour and recognise the human story behind each child.
A must-read for anyone seeking insight into youth justice, child welfare, or simply how to better support the young people in their lives.
