Rugby League's State of Origin series is an annual event unlike any other on the Australian sports calendar. For fans like author Darren Groth and his father Des, it is more than a yearly three-game series between two states, it is part of their DNA.

'Marooned' (Hawkeye Publishing) traces the deeply ingrained commitment and passion the Groths share for the game and each other. Darren shares how he and his dad have navigated the challenges of life and footy, with both presenting their fair share of wins and losses.

In this episode, meet Deborah Lawrie and Steph De Sousa. Deborah is a trailblazer who took on the male dominated airline industry in the seventies and became Australia's first female commercial pilot. Much has been written about the legal battles but in 'Touching the Sky' (Harper Collins), Deborah shares her love of aviation and her determination to make it her life's work.

Steph de Sousa is a home cook who has become a modern day multimedia star because she is real, relatable and unpretentious. Her unique style and passion for the kitchen comes through in everything she does. Her latest book 'No Stress Recipe Queen' (Harper Collins) continues Steph's theme of no fuss, quick, delicious meals, all made from ingredients available on your supermarket shelves.
