A Voice of One's Own

This is a novel with a striking mission at its heart: not just to tell us a story but to show us - through the example of one life - how we might change our own.

The novel introduces us to Anna, a kind, inspiring, thoughtful but modest and self-questioning person, in whom we might catch echoes of ourselves. Life has been hard of late for Anna: her job is putting her under extreme pressure, her relationship is lacking the support she craves, her parents have saddled her with a complicated emotional history. And yet she is determined to progress and liberate herself from her inhibitions.

In a style that's brief and poignant, accompanied by lyrical and thought-provoking images, we follow Anna as she slowly unpicks the roots of her self-suspicion and discovers something we all deserve but have so often been denied: a voice of our own.

"For anyone finding life hard right now, jump inside this book and allow the lessons and wisdom to help you take that next small step forward in your own life." - Emma Gannon, author of Olive
