Nicky Rogers, editor 'Mobilise Magazine': 'book that moves you so much . . . will be in your thoughts for the rest of your life' Her first book is 'a triumph' the language is expressive and emotional, and it transcends normal boundaries, akin to a rollercoaster. One moment the reader laughs tears, she rolls a cigarette that 'looks like a Havana and a tampon crossed' in the hospital, it also resembles a joint. Then you cry in pain, the disbelief and the frustration, as the strong young woman becomes a victim of circumstances. But read on . . . she will have a giggle around the corner. 'Typically Gillian' a continuation of this journey, requested by followers, she lives alone with help. Her disability is an issue but Gillian carries on, tackling routines of normality, the brave determination is inspirational, her parents and brother are irreplaceable, the harrowing but hilarious recounts of Gillian's exploits are memorable. Gillian brings reality to life and is adamant that she is 'not special' but she is and readers are right 'everyone' should read these books.
