From the glittering lights of reality TV to the dark alleys of addiction, Tin Man reveals the unvarnished truth about the dangers of party culture, the pressures of fame and the devastating cost of letting your ego run the show.

After a near-fatal overdose left him fighting for his life, The Bachelorette Australia star Davey Lloyd knew he’d run out of chances. Pulling himself back from the brink of self-destruction, Davey forged his own path to recovery by embracing sobriety, finding purpose and building a life he finally wanted to live.

More than a story of hitting rock bottom, Tin Man is a practical eight-step roadmap for anyone looking to break free from addiction. Complete with guided journal prompts and practical exercises, it invites readers to embark on a transformation of their own.

If you’re searching for a way out of the darkness, this book offers the unflinching honesty and fresh insights you need to find your heart again.

Davey’s book will make so many people feel seen, understood and less alone. ~ Tara Pavlovic, TV Personality
