BOOK PROMOTION

I wrote a book which is honest, insightful, funny, historical and Uplifting. Why did I write it? Was it revenge on stepdad? Was it a cathartic release of pent up rage? Was I helping other domestic victims? None of the above. I can’t advise abuse victims on coping mechanisms when I couldn’t cope. So what was my motivation? Well, I like history, working class history and women’s history. Women’s history has been Neglected. Women in the past didn,t count. Historians were middle-class males. My working class background is interesting, especially my humble Great aunt who worked her way out of poverty. I included my dynamic aunt because I didn’t want my book to be a misery or victim book. I wanted it to be an inspirational book. Thus read my book because it is not a poor me book. I don’t write For sympathy. Yes, I put in a vile stepdad because I can’t lie about his vileness. If I did that I would be whitewashing my entire life story. I will finish my promotion by adding that I aimed to write a book which draws you into a unique world. Enjoy a slice of slightly bonkers history when kids munched on leeks as part of their education. Strange but true.
