About this product

Product Information

A poignant and powerful celebration of one remarkable woman's unrelenting drive to make order from chaos. Before she was a trauma cleaner, Sandra Pankhurst was many things- husband and father, drag queen, gender reassignment patient, sex worker, small businesswoman, trophy wife . . . But as a little boy, raised in violence and excluded from the family home, she just wanted to belong. Now she believes her clients deserve no less. A woman who sleeps among garbage she has not put out for forty years. A man who bled quietly to death in his loungeroom. A woman who lives with rats, random debris and terrified delusion. The still life of a home vacated by accidental overdose. Sarah Krasnostein has watched the extraordinary Sandra Pankhurst bring order and care to these, the living and the dead - and the book she has written is equally extraordinary. Not just the compelling story of a fascinating life among lives of desperation, but an affirmation that, as isolated as we may feel, we are all in this together.

  • Getting to the heart of it all.

    Just love the wonderful story of Sandra and her humanity and understanding of people's circumstances. Great work by Sarah Krasnostein to capture all of this in such an engaging way. I am dying to meet Miss Sandra.

  • a bit long - winded

    It is a very interesting book and quite an eye opener. But the actual story could have been halved.
