Cairns, QLD — October, 2025 — Local author, publisher, and advocate Crystal Leonardi is making waves both at home and abroad following the success of her latest book, Clarity.

A three-in-one publication, Clarity combines reflection, resilience, and inspiration, offering readers a powerful look into overcoming life’s most profound challenges.
