One woman's story of emerging through heartbreak and grief to reclaim life on her own terms.


When the life you imagined falls apart, what remains?

At 33, Sheree Joseph stood in the ruins of the life she thought she’d have: no partner, no children, no tidy timeline. Instead, a pandemic, profound grief and the unsettling realisation that everything she’d been taught to want – marriage, motherhood, security – might never arrive.

Set against the backdrop of a world in crisis, Juicy is a memoir of heartbreak, healing and rewriting the narrative. In the wake of grief, failed fertility treatments and fractured relationships, Sheree searches for meaning and repair: forging forever friendships, tracing her Lebanese-Australian roots and journeying through sun-drenched Europe for a reckoning with the life she thought she’d lost.

Written with warmth, wit and unflinching honesty, Juicy is a generation-defining memoir for anyone learning to live lives far richer, deeper, juicier.
