In a discussion facilitated by Ginger Gorman, Jeni Haynes will be talking about her book, The Girl in the Green Dress.

Described as ‘unforgettable’, The Girl in the Green Dress is a memoir from a woman who refused to be silenced. After enduring many years of abuse, Jeni fought to create a life for herself and bring her father to justice in a history-making ruling. In speaking out, Jeni’s courage would see many understand Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) for the first time.

Copies of the book can be purchased on the night from the National Library Bookshop and, following the discussion in the Theatre, Jeni Haynes will be available for book signings in the Foyer.

On the evening, for those who wish to meet for refreshments prior to the event, Bookplate Cafe will remain open until the event starts at 6pm.
