I'm Liz Hayes
Liz Hayes has graced our television screens for more than four decades. Millions of Australians kicked off their weeks with Liz co-hosting Channel 9's Today show, and now for over 25 years have settled into their Sunday nights to watch her investigative journalism on 60 Minutes.
From camping in grizzly bear territory to sipping tea with an Afghani warlord in an active warzone, Liz has almost seen it all. She has shared the stories of celebrities and movie stars, leaders and politicians, heroes and villains across the globe, but - after a lifetime of reporting on others - when tragedy struck her own family, Liz discovered that sometimes the hardest story to tell is your own.
Compelling and elegantly written, Liz's long-awaited memoir takes us behind the cameras and back to when Beth Ryan, the dairy farmer's daughter, became seasoned journalist Liz Hayes, and how life in the country gave way to 'controlled' crash-landings on US aircraft carriers.
Synonymous with her iconic 60 Minutes television introduction, I'm Liz Hayes, is a warm and authentic memoir about what's possible, and what it can cost you, when you choose a life of adventure.

I’m Liz Hayes
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you to @harpercollinsaustralia for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I had such anticipation for this book and it did not disappoint. I love reading a journalists memoir and have read a few of them and they all seem to shed some light on a new issue.
Anyone else read the title of this book and hear in Liz Hayes voice? Because I definitely did. It takes a while to wrap your head around the sheer amount of stories Liz has.
Definitely recommend reading.

I was loaned this from a friend and wasnt sure what it was going to be like. I knew of Liz Hayes but didnt really know much about her. It was an interesting read but it did jump around a bit which was a bit confusing. She has lead an interesting life
