About the Book: 

How deep would you go to reclaim yourself?

A contemporary myth of courage and healing,  Innerone is an extraordinary narrative in which the protagonist meditates to her mind's underworld to find the younger self she betrayed.                                                                                                                                       Although she thinks she knows what to expect, the surprises keep coming. Her  expectations dashed and new-age ideals thwarted, she discovers she is neither alone nor in charge. Her spunky inner-child, her esoteric higher-self, her unconvinced inner-scientist and others—all of whom hold different beliefs, values and desires—converse and argue, travel and shop (not your usual mall).     
 And the subtle question swirls... how different would her actions be, what changes would play out in her life, if she flipped from believing she is broken to recognising that she is whole just as she is?

Accolades:

"Innerone is liquid poetry that one can swim in for hours, mesmerized by the pure, raw truth of it. Alicia Thomas-Woolf has taken that which we believed ugly within us and transformed it into a beautiful tapestry of courage and hope."

     Katherine Woodward-Thomas, bestselling author of Calling in 'The One'

“I have said often that our inner dialogue - what we communicate to ourselves - has a huge impact on the way we project ourselves in our outer world. If you took that statement and turned it into an alchemy of metaphor, poetry and narrative, Innerone would emerge."

Nadia Bilchik, CNN Editorial Producer, Author, Speaker

"Wow... I've spent my life as a writer, well a large part of it anyway, and after reading your book I'm almost at a loss for words... honestly, this is some seriously great writing... really and truly wonderful to read."

Michael Billington, award-winning journalist, author and Vietnam veteran

“I’ve never read anything like Innerone. I loved how the story fell into place and how, on a psychological level, it is empathic with just about anyone who has suffered a trauma. This is a superbly written read. I highly recommend it not only to my clients, but to my colleagues and friends too.”

Rachelle Baitz, Clinical Social Worker

“[The] writing is superb and I could relate to it. I've always been so fascinated with our inner dialogue and how greatly it can affect everything surrounding us. It really is an incredibly powerful piece of work.”

Shari Nementzik, Entertainment Editor of Woman’s Day and Yours magazines, Sydney
