Hello! Today, we speak to award-winning writer Lech Blaine. Lech has had an extraordinary life. In 2009, he survived a head-on collision that killed three of his best mates, which he wrote about vividly in his debut memoir, Car Crash. His latest family memoir, though, Australian Gospel, is an astonishing true story of his unconventional family held together by love and courage.  Lech grew up in rural Queensland with his parents, Tom and Lenore Blaine, who were no strangers to the foster care system; they provided a warm and loving home to hundreds of children before they permanently raised Steven, John and Hannah, the biological children of Christian fanatics, Michael and Mary Shelley.  Content warning: This conversation touches on themes of child abuse, so please listen with care.
