The third-person story:
HOLLY RINGLAND grew up barefoot and wild in her mother's tropical garden on the east coast of Australia. When she was nine years old, her love of landscapes, cultures and stories was deepened by a two-year journey her family took in North America, living in a camper van and travelling from one national park to another. In her early twenties, Holly worked for four years in a remote Indigenous community in Australia’s western desert, where she was the Senior Media ranger at Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Moving to England in 2009, Holly obtained her MA in Creative Writing from the University of Manchester in 2011. After wanting to be a writer since she was three years old, Holly’s debut novel The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart was published in 2018 when she was 37 years old, and has since become an international bestseller. Publication rights have sold in 28 territories and a television series adaptation is forthcoming from Bruna Papandrea's production company Made Up Stories. In May 2019, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart won The Australian Book Industry Award General Fiction Book of the Year. Holly now lives between Australia and the UK; she has Australian native flowers growing in both places.
