Laura Hird's superb debut novel is a punchy, acerbic, sharp-witted, and, above all, acutely observed account of family life set in a deprived area of west Edinburgh. Published to outstanding acclaim in Britain, Born Free tells the story of an ordinary family who is trying to escape from something . . . and each other. The interactions between Jake, Joni, Angie, and Vie reveal a hellish cocktail of adolescent and midlife crises; the savagery of sibling rivalry; the waking nightmare of a marriage gone cold; and, naturally, the unbridgeable, infernal chasm between the generations. It's a story of everyday life.

Twentyone Olive Trees: A Mother's Walk through the Grief of Suicide to Hope and Healing, is the author's personal journey of transformation following her son Blaise's suicide. The book traces her path from grief to understanding and healing, shown through a collection of twenty-one fables and poems she wrote to Blaise in the year after his untimely death. This book explores Laura's message that it is in in your power to overcome personal difficulties no matter what, by creating something beautiful in the wake of whatever has befallen you- death, divorce, disease, destruction from natural and man-made disasters, or other upheavals.

It is Laura's hope that these stories will act as a balm for those going through their grief and dark moments, encourage them to embrace their new beginnings, as well as inspire empaths and highly sensitive people to bring about the changes that our society is so strongly in need of.

Some died in act...
