The publication, Coming In From The Cold, includes the experiences of 26 male survivors, generously shared by Tautoko Tāne staff and clients with editor Bex De Prospo Carr and ably crafted by her pen. The history is summarised in four seasonal essays contributed by Tautoko Tāne Lead Educator, Fiona Clapham Howard, who is also a survivor. The work was developed by Tautoko Tāne Executive Trustee and Pou Whakahaere, Tony Chamberlain, who also penned the epilogue.
