From Roses to Terror nominated for first Australian award
"What begins as an innocent connection turns into a chilling nightmare in this gripping true story. From Roses to Terror lays bare the devastating reality of stalking and the years-long fight for justice that followed. With unflinching honesty, Di McDonald shares the harrowing impact on her family and her relentless pursuit to hold her stalker accountable, a journey that led to founding Stalking Awareness Day Australia (SADA). Her memoir is not only a story of survival, but a powerful guide and voice for others walking a similar path."
Stalking is a crime
Stalking is behaviour through which someone imposes themselves into another person’s life in a way which causes distress, fear, and disruption.
An estimated 2.7 million people aged 18 years and over (14%) have experienced stalking since the age of 15.
SADA was established by Di McDonald to empower and educate people who are stalked.
