Lisa has recently released a truly personal memoir that touches on Jaimi’s journey, called Lisa: A Memoir – 60 Years of Life, Love and Loss.
She told The Australian Women’s Weekly on Thursday: ‘Jaimi wanted to write a book to help others, but it was too late. We left it too late.’
She added: ‘But I hope that, by being honest and knowing that Jaimi wanted to help others, we can help in some way, in some small way.’
