The Memoir
The Weird Little Girl
Who Talked to Ghosts
A memoir about hearing what others couldn't, growing up different, and the slow, brave work of becoming exactly who you are.
About the book
From the spotlight of Australian television to quiet rooms full of ghosts she's seen since she was a child — Chezzi tells the story she's been carrying her whole life.
As a small girl growing up in a quiet regional town in Australia, Chezzi never realised she was different. Playing in her backyard with her friends felt perfectly normal until she discovered she was the only one who could see them.
From that moment on, she learned to hide her "weirdness", building a life that looked perfect from the outside. She had a thriving career in journalism and television production. She was a familiar face in the Australian entertainment industry. Chezzi was a woman who had it all, except the freedom to be her true self.
But after the heartbreaking loss of a close friend and the birth of her third child, the facade began to crack. Grief changed her. It forced her to look inward, to confront the past she had buried, and to rediscover the strange, intuitive little girl she once was.
The Weird Little Girl is not a story for the faint-hearted. It is an honest, soul-stirring journey through identity, loss and awakening. With courage and vulnerability, Chezzi invites us all to embrace the unknown, trust our intuition, and reconnect with the parts of ourselves we have learned to hide.
The Weird Little Girl Who Talked To Ghosts hit #1 Bestseller within 48 hours of release, and sold out in under three weeks.
