Nix Adams' rise from the depths of grief, addiction, jail time and misery to a life of empowerment has become the stuff of modern Kiwi legend. Now the winner of this year's Celebrity Treasure Island is a busy mother of four with a booming online following of over one million people who tune into her brutally frank and often hilarious videos about everything from her recent facelift to her newly purchased lifestyle farm in Northland. Anyway, it's all in the book (out now). And what's not in the book is right here, in the 1News Grill.
