Jacqueline Dinan

Jacqueline Dinan, a former accredited foster carer, gave respite to many children while a parent of theirs was incarcerated. Likewise, an Indigenous teenager from a remote Northern Territory community lived with her family to complete secondary schooling through to year 12. She is also a funeral celebrant and author of three previous titles that celebrated remarkable women. Jacqueline was raised on a farm in South Gippsland and as a North Melbourne supporter; ironically she sported Andrew’s father, Jimmy Krakouer’s number 3 on the back of her duffel coat. Married with three sons, and two grandchildren, she now lives in Melbourne.
