Celia Lashlie R.I.P.

It is with great sadness that HarperCollins acknowledges the sudden death of our friend and author Celia Lashlie.

Celia was a genuine force for good in the world. Her tireless work in the fields of social justice, penal reform, youth affairs and parenting will leave a permanent legacy that many have benefitted from, and will continue to inspire future generations.

She was also a consummate professional with a fearsome work ethic, often to the extent of neglecting her own best interests in favour of the interests of others. Her books, in particular the groundbreaking He'll Be OK, are one part of this legacy, and all of us at HarperCollins feel privileged to have been a part of their creation, and to have been part of Celia's world.


Our sincerest sympathies to Celia's loved ones. Hei maumaharatanga ki te tino hoa.
