Hello!

184 Entries

16 lucky winners will receive a copy of Em Rusciano’s fabulous new book Try Hard valued at $32.99.

Funny, feisty and fabulous, Em Rusciano’s insights into her world of mayhem, marriage and motherhood are a laugh-out-loud, cry-out-loud balm for the soul.

From her exploits at the Miss Sheila Fancypants School of Dance and her efforts to secure a solo at her end-of-year performance, to embracing the spotlight as an Australian Idol contestant and her deep and abiding love for John Farnham, Em Rusciano is a self-confessed bottomless pit of anxiety with a taste for glitter.

This all-singing, all-dancing, all-emoting, leopard-print clad warrior is fearless, fabulous and pants-wettingly funny. Her words on the page are silly and sacred, bawdy and heartfelt. The stuff of life.

Try Hard is her story.

Because she is. And she does.

  • When my husband left me while our son was in hospital and I had to get up and keep going, helped my son thru his illness and held down 2 jobs, saved my house from the bank and survived & as strong as ever!!


  • When I drop my kids at school and kindy, hubby is at work and I get the day to myself just to relax, I get one day a week to my self (if that) and that is when I am at my best!


  • I’d say at my Year 7 Christmas Concert when I got to play Babushka! Only a couple of lines maybe but that was my top starring role! I only made it into the chorus in High School! 😉
