Another Way to Fall

Another Way to Fall

by Amanda Brooke (Author)

Synopsis

If you could write your own happy ending, what would you say? This is the story of Emma's life. For three long years, she has battled with illness, enduring everything with bravery and always with hope. Then one day Emma is told that they've reached the end of the road. While her family and friends are thrown into denial, anger and grief, Emma suddenly realises that with so much left undone, she must find a way to live the life she has always dreamed of. This is a story about happy endings. So Emma begins to write the story of the life she has always wanted to live and something miraculous starts to happen. As her body starts to weaken, the lines between fiction and reality start to blur and her story takes on a life of its own. As the story gains in strength, Emma, and those who cherish her, discover that even in death, there is life.

Author Bio

Amanda Brooke is a single mum in her forties who lives in Liverpool with her teenage daughter Jessica. It was only when her young son was diagnosed with cancer that Amanda began to develop her writing, recording her family's journey in a journal and through poetry. When Nathan died in 2006 at just three years old, Amanda was determined that his legacy would be one of inspiration not devastation. Her debut novel Yesterday's Sun was inspired by her experiences of motherhood and her understanding of how much a mother would be willing to sacrifice for the life of her child.
