Nothing to Lose
An open, raw and honest account of a mother's journey through grief, addiction and then recovery - this is how Nix Adams went from being a survivor to a star.
'There's no one as dangerous as someone who believes they have nothing to lose.'
Eight years ago, Nix Adams started posting videos on Facebook while she was freshly out of jail, in order to show her kids that she was sober and on the path back to them. It was after her third child, Alaska, died suddenly of a virus in 2013 that a spiral of grief and then addiction led Nix to five years of chaos, leading to a stint in maximum security prison where she finally hit rock bottom and started to work her way back up. Now, she's one of Aotearoa's most beloved storytellers, with a whānau of almost three million people watching her raw, funny and honest videos on social media.
Nothing To Lose is a story about survival and what it takes to start over.

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.
