Blue Widow

A true story of loss and resilience from a Queensland Police Officer

Blue Widow is the harrowing story of Sonya Leeding, whose husband Damian was shot during a botched armed robbery at the Pacific Pines Tavern in Queensland, Australia.

Sonya's no-holds-barred account of the night of 29 May 2011 and the events that unfolded after this tragedy offer an extraordinary insight into the deeply personal nature of loss and the impact that being in the public eye has on the grieving process.

Blue Widow reveals the real people behind the police uniforms; the mothers, fathers, children, and siblings; and how-in a split second-life can be heartbreakingly and permanently altered.
