About
Pink Ink is a memoir of Harry's life, his career in show business, his intense battle with addiction and ultimately his resilience and push to find acceptance within himself. The book spans across Harry's life from moving to Australia to landing his first major film role, traveling to the Maldives to shoot a surf thriller movie (without being able to surf), attending the Tribeca Film Festival for his first world movie premiere; and also the darker days of coming out, his severe battle with alcoholism and addiction and his time in a rehab facility at age 19. Pink Ink also covers Harry finding love just a month after getting out of rehab, rebuilding his career, getting married, and fighting for equality back home in Australia. Harry's story is both touching and hilarious, warm and gritty. Pink Ink an inspiringly raw and honest read for anyone who is struggling with the angst of adolescence, facing adversity, questioning their identity or wants to know what life is really like behind the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and show-business.
