"Strong Stuff brings to life a world rarely addressed in fiction - that of a young carer and a working class heroine - with Northern humour and poignancy. The vivid descriptions of its location almost render Sheffield as a character itself. A book that I'm still thinking about weeks after reading" - Ellen, Sheffield Telegraph

She is forced to live with her estranged father on the wrong side of the tracks, where her life as a teenager really begins, Ruby finds love and friendship in the most unlikely of places – but when forces conspire to take it all away, she must fight to keep what matters to her, at all costs.
