Honey
My Story of Love, Loss and Victory
Honey, Hunz, Honey Bill, Arneta, Aunty, Whaea, Mum, Nan.
From 'town bully' to multiple world champion, single mum, and pioneering TV commentator – Honey Hireme-Smiler's astounding life story is built on so many layers.
With one of the most impressive resumes in New Zealand sport, Honey is a four-time World Cup winner who wore the silver fern in league, rugby, sevens and nines. She moved freely between codes, was one of the firstwomen to play professional rugby in Aotearoa, and was repeatedly named one of the best in the world, no matter the sport.
But for all her victories on the field and now the sideline, there have been personal challenges and loss – from a troubled childhood to heartbreaking tragedies.
Candid, harrowing, powerful, uplifting and funny, Honey is a story that will enthral and inspire.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
