Synopsis: Out of the Ashes is the inspirational story of an Australian mother&’s journey back from hell after the 12 October 2002 Bali bombings. The deadly terrorist attacks on Paddy&’s Irish Bar and the Sari Club in Kuta&’s party precinct claimed the lives of 202 innocent people, and maimed and injured hundreds more. The holiday of a lifetime turned into their worst nightmare for Australian nurses Bronwyn Cartwright and Therese Fox. Tragically, Bronwyn, 28, perished in the deadly bomb blast which ripped through Paddy&’s Irish Bar. Therese survived, but suffered such horrific burns that doctors believed she would not survive a flight home to Australia. This is the story of her fight to get home to her children, and her long road to recovery. Therese&’s story is interwoven with the tales of others who were there, detailing the horrors of that night and the long journey of healing for all those involved – and their families. Out of the Ashes is ultimately a story of hope, belief in the power of love, friendships forged in fire, and the extraordinary courage of a woman doctors nicknamed The Miracle of Bali.
