From rising living costs and digital disconnection to escalating climate disasters, many of us carry a quiet, persistent unease, especially when we think about our childrens future. Written from a lifetime of observation across social, environmental and cultural spheres, this book connects the threads behind todays overlapping crises. It offers a way forward: practical, grounded shifts in how we live, think and act that can restore a sense of agency. This is a clear-eyed call to step back, reconnect - with nature and with each other - to reclaim a more balanced, resilient way of living.

Suzanne Ferris has loved nature since childhood. Concerned by the impact of human exploitation on the environment, she became a passionate climate advocate. Now almost blind, Sue channels her activism into writing. With academic backgrounds in literature and philosophy and a longstanding interest in environmental issues, she brings both insight and conviction to her work. In 2023, she published Lets Not Lose Them: Endangered Species in Australia with Ginninderra Press. Her second book, Thoughts for an Uncertain Future, offers a hopeful call to action, encouraging readers to reconnect with nature, reduce wasteful consumerism, and work with like-minded communities to build a more sustainable and rewarding future.
