Some days, one page is enough.
A Page for the Hard Part is a book of short reflections for anxious, overloaded and uncertain days. A finder at the front takes you straight to the pages that match how you feel. Each page holds one reflection and one question, and you can leave the question unanswered. It ends with four words: I believe in you.
168 pages. Paperback and hardcover, published 1 December 2026. Kindle from 30 November.

One reflection is enough. These are the doors into the book.
“I thought of you. Of all the things you carry that nobody gets to see. I hope you find a little room here to put some of them down.”
From the dedication
The book came out of a night of not sleeping. Not a crisis, just a mind doing what minds do at three in the morning. The pages are short because that is all anyone has, in the middle of it.
You can open it anywhere. You can disagree with a page. You can put it down after one sentence if that is the sentence you needed.
Who it is for.
- You are in the middle of the thing, not past it.
- Your mind has made an epic out of a small moment, again.
- You want to give this to someone who is not ready to talk.
- You have read the advice and it was more than you could use.
It is not a treatment plan, a diagnosis or a substitute for professional care. If you need more than a page, there is no shame in asking for it.
Read this next.
When the day is a little steadier, A Little More on Your Side is the longer book of short reflections. If you want to start something, Just Start is the method.
These are personal reflections, not a substitute for professional care. If you are in crisis, call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636.
