The 53-year-old MasterChef Australia star has just released her autobiography, Your Time Starts Now, which describes how she was sexually abused as a child and later attempted suicide as a teenager. Goodwin emotionally described how a pair of shoes her young son had bought for her served as a reminder of the immense pain her loved ones would endure. The beloved TV star claims her husband Mick and family helped on her road to recovery, giving her the love and support she needed, and now says she is grateful for her life.
