‘Teenage Kicks’ the release date is March 2012
I know it doesn’t look like it now but I have survived 7 years on the streets of Scotland and have penned a book to share my experience. The book is raw and real detailing how I ended up on the streets, how I survived and how I got off the streets and into ‘normal life’
Testimonials:
Teenage Kicks is a searing account of a young woman’s childhood and adolescence in grim, small-town Scotland, in an environment beleaguered by alcohol and drug abuse. Although the memoir is an intensely personal tale, with the raw dialogue and descriptions leaving you in no doubt about the brutality of her young life, the story is one that, alarmingly, could be transposed to other parts of 21st century Scotland, to other young people growing up in a vacuum of hope. The extraordinary part of this story? In spite of the odds, in spite of years of homelessness, abuse and neglect, hers is a story of resilience and survival and, ultimately, of hope and transformation.

“Teenage Kicks is the story of the journey of the soul of a lonely desperate young teen and how she overcame the hardships in her life to become the strong inspiring woman that she is today! I read the book and could not beleive that the character was the woman that I see today….her story is unbelievable and I could not put it down….the book is very gritty and real… like a female version of Trainspotting. The book tackles issues with honesty, edginess and a rawness which grips you till the very end….and it left me wanting more (the ending thankfully hints are more to come!). A fantastically written book and I would definately recommend it to everyone…if you think your life is “bad” then read Teenage Kicks and you will see that no matter how helpless your situation there is always light at the end of the tunnel…”
