Hello everyone
I know that this isn't the normal sort of post that gets put on here, but if you don't mind, I'd like to introduce my lovely lady wife to you via a story she wrote. I hope you like reading. I believe she has an immense, formidable writing talent and so I hope you might like to read this - with my wife's permission...to me, that is.
She does write light stuff, children's stories etc. and her aim is, hopefully to become a published author.
This is a story based on true events which befell her and please be warned, it is NOT light reading. The names have been changed and conversations and some of the events described have been slightly altered "for dramatic purposes." Obviously, 30 years or so dims memory, but in the main this is a true story. Jimmy McGovern, a best selling author and playwright who my wife admires, read it and said it was the most profoundly moving piece of writing he had ever read. Praise indeed. It WILL break a few hearts and how my wife coped at the time, I will never know, although I suppose you just have to.
At the moment she is writing her autobiography...what a read - what a story!!!
Anyway, we thought we would share this with you all. Enjoy (if that's the correct word).
Bri and Jacquie.
