Description

Out of the Ashes is the inspirational story of an Australian mothers journey back from hell after the 12 October 2002 Bali bombings. The deadly terrorist attacks on Paddys Irish Bar and the Sari Club in Kutas party precinct claimed the lives of 202 innocent people, and maimed and injured hundreds more.
The holiday of a lifetime turned into their worst nightmare for Australian nurses Bronwyn Cartwright and Therese Fox. Tragically, Bronwyn, 28, perished in the deadly bomb blast which ripped through Paddys Irish Bar. Therese survived, but suffered such horrific burns that doctors believed she would not survive a flight home to Australia.
This is the story of her fight to get home to her children, and her long road to recovery. Thereses story is interwoven with the tales of others who were there, detailing the horrors of that night and the long journey of healing for all those involved and their families.
Out of the Ashes is ultimately a story of hope, belief in the power of love, friendships forged in fire, and the extraordinary courage of a woman doctors nicknamed The Miracle of Bali.
