Meet the Author: Kellie Finlayson

Dillons Bookshop, Allen & Unwin, and Norwood, Payneham & St Peters Libraries invite you to hear Kellie Finlayson in conversation about There Must Be More.

In 2021, Kellie Finlayson, with a three-month-old daughter, found herself staring down the barrel of a terminal diagnosis: Stage 4 bowel cancer. She was 25. Incredibly, Kellie is still fighting several years on, and not only for her life. She was horrified to discover that this disease is Australia's second-highest cancer killer and-shockingly-the highest for 25- to 45-year-olds. Hardwired to help people, Kellie boldly determined to change those statistics. Since then, she has become a defier of odds and a passionate advocate for broader health awareness.

There Must be More is a book about being dealt a devasting blow, being knocked down and yet getting back up again. This is Kellie's searingly honest, endearingly vulnerable, sometimes cheeky and always hopeful story of love and struggle from the frontlines of her fight for life.

Filled with revelations for those who haven't been touched by the illness and compassion for those who have, this book is the life-affirming gift of hope that everybody needs.
