I think it is true that you don't aspire to be what you cannot see. I would like this book to show you that you can push yourself to do things you never dreamed you would do.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eAs a young Larrakia Tiwi girl Miranda Tapsell often felt like an outsider. Growing up, she looked for faces like hers on our screens. There weren't many. And too often there was a negative narrative around First Nation lives, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women especially. As she got older, Miranda stopped expecting others would help change things and set about doing something herself. Combining her pride in her Aboriginality and passion for romantic comedies with her love of Darwin, the Tiwi Islands and the Top End, Miranda co-wrote, produced and starred in the box office hit \u003ci\u003eTop End Wedding\u003c\/i\u003e.In this engaging memoir, Miranda shares the path she took to acting and how her role in \u003ci\u003eThe Sapphires\u003c\/i\u003e and then in \u003ci\u003eLove Child\u003c\/i\u003e inspired her to create a film about coming back to family and culture. And, it would turn out, that as she was writing her romantic lead she was also conjuring up some magic that saw a real-life love ignite. This deadly, ballad-loving rom-com nerd also asks us all to open our minds and our hearts to the importance of country and culture, In doing so, Miranda shows us how we will all be richer for it.\u003cb\u003eFunny, wise and thought-provoking, \u003ci\u003eTop End Girl \u003c\/i\u003ewill have you at hello.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Miranda Tapsell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0733642438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780733642432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hachette Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Miranda Tapsell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48441313329407,"sku":"9780733642432","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30d7803b-8c3a-4511-9998-1cbdcf69df7e.jpg?v=1777190089","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/top-end-girl-miranda-tapsell-9780733642432","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
