The Books

These are stories which go beyond words and become a means by which the reader enters a world they would otherwise not know, feel things they wouldn’t otherwise feel, and understand things they wouldn’t otherwise understand.

Lives Worth Living and Courage is Compulsory makes the reader aware of the love, determination and optimism of not only the children and young people with life limiting conditions but also their parents and wider families who all face enormous challenges in their lives.

Both books will open your eyes to the limitless possibilities in life and cause you to wonder at the resilience and strength of the human spirit.

All proceeds from the sales of both books go to Children’s Hospice South West and Jessie May Children’s Hospice at Home.
