Read extracts about the book here

It says the unsayable.
Gives voice to the voiceless.
It’s a lifetime’s work –
It’s where the impossible
Becomes the possible.
It takes us out of ourselves
From Why Writing by Victoria Field

Some people find that they can use writing as another tool in their kitbag for dealing with the changes they are going through . . . . Others find that it can help them to ‘park emotional stuff’ or literally to deal with pain.
Jayne Wilding, Maggies Dundee and Fife

“This book is a mind-opener as well as
a locus of solidarity for the cancer affected” Tom Leonard.
