I've written a book!

Sunday 23 June 2019



So, I have an announcement,
I have written a book. 
That's right, a whole, full, book.

If you have never seen any of my posts before now, this is the one to read. 
So, eight months ago, I started writing Grow - Stories for the 'average' foster carer and it has been a journey and a half.
So, the premise of the book is fairly simple and you can probably tell from the title of the book but I am going to explain what it's about anyway.



Grow is a collection of short stories all about the foster care system in England. My parents have been fostering children for many years and as their child, I have witnessed many things. Grow focuses on four, individual children and a moment in time, which I remember vividly about having them in my families care. 
This book's aim was to look at both the positive and negatives of foster care and how my parent's dealt with every situation with love and professionalism. 

Right now, the book is available to purchase on Blurb, but soon, it will be up on Amazon!
This post is going to be short and sweet!
But, if you want to buy a copy of my book, click the link below and help support a young, aspiring author!
Thank you so much for your support!

  2. Read and loved the book. Each chapter worked so well to weave how each foster child helped shape and change you and your families attitudes.

    The descriptions were beautifully unique, makes me wonder how you come up with each one.

  7. Congratulations on finishing your book! I spent a couple of years in foster care, but my foster mum's daughters were adults and had left home, although I still saw them a lot as I integrated into the family while I was there.
    I still think of them often and am a little sad that we lost touch after I turned 18 and the system turfed me into "independent living".
