About the Book

Launched on 26th September 2025 at Sheffield Cathedral – you can watch it HERE

Blood Is Thicker Than Alcohol is the story I carried in silence for years. It’s inked in heartbreak, grit, and the kind of love that doesn’t fit in greeting cards. I was a teenage mum with a belly full of hope and a head full of chaos. Addiction tried to write my ending—but I picked up the pen.

This memoir is for the women who’ve buried their truth to keep the peace. For the families stitched together with secrets. It’s not just my story. It’s a call to speak, to heal, to rise.

From the Author

“I wrote Blood Is Thicker Than Alcohol because I didn’t want my father to be another alcohol-related death statistic. This book is my truth, raw and unfiltered—a story of addiction, recovery, and reclaiming my voice.”
