The remarkable story of Professor Fiona Wood AM, world-leading burns specialist and one of Australia's most innovative and respected surgeons, whose groundbreaking research and technology development has changed the lives of burns patients.

When three bombs tore out the heart of Bali and destroyed so many Australian lives in 2002, burns surgeon Professor
Fiona Wood and her team were there to help. A pioneer in the field of burns and reconstructive surgery, Fiona made world
headlines with the use of her groundbreaking invention of 'spray-on skin' to help minimise her patients' terrible scarring.
Fiona was later made Australian of the Year, voted Australia's Most Trusted Person for an unprecedented six years
running in the annual Reader's Digest poll and acclaimed as a 'National Living Treasure'.
This is the story of her extraordinary life. Against all the odds, Fiona, the daughter of a fifth-generation coalminer in the
north of England, became one of Australia's most innovative, respected and dedicated surgeons and researchers. She
talks candidly of the moving valour of her burns patients, and the heartbreak, triumph, tears and controversies that have
stalked her stellar career.
Remarkably, she has achieved all of this while raising six children.
In Under Her Skin, Sue Williams, a bestselling author and award-winning journalist who has written a number of
biographies - most notably about Father Chris Riley, Father Bob Maguire and Dr Catherine Hamlin - presents a searingly
honest, no-holds-barred account of all aspects of Fiona Wood's remarkable life.
