Mary Garden is a New Zealand–born author whose life has taken her from ashrams in India to eco-villages in Australia and beyond. Now based in Queensland, her writing explores the search for truth, identity, and belonging through extraordinary personal experience.

Her memoir,My Father's Suitcase (May 2024), follows the success of her award-winning The Serpent Rising, a vivid account of her years in India under the spell of dangerous gurus.

Mary is also the author of Sundowner of the Skies, a biography of her aviator father, Oscar Garden, which was shortlisted for the NSW Premier’s History Award.
