Dying Rose

This audiobook explores the harrowing investigation into the deaths of six Aboriginal women and the inadequate police responses that left their families devastated. Triggered by Courtney Hunter-Hebberman's poignant reflection on her daughter Rose, who tragically died by apparent suicide, a team of journalists from the Adelaide Advertiser seeks to unravel the circumstances surrounding these deaths. As their inquiry uncovers systemic issues such as poor communication and assumptions within law enforcement, it prompts deeper questions about the visibility and voice of Indigenous women in Australia. Based on the podcast Dying Rose, the narrative highlights the vulnerability faced by young Indigenous women and the compounded grief experienced by their families.
