Ascent of a Woman - Mhairi Blyth
Mhairi was born in Kirkcaldy, Fife but spent much of her childhood in the Middle East. She started writing poems when she was ten as a form of escapism and began writing short stories in her mid-thirties. After many years moving between England and Scotland, she has settled back in Fife with her husband, daughter, grandson, parents, 3 dogs and two cats. She splits her time between looking after her family and writing, and in her free time likes to read, cross-stitch and the occasional nap.
GENRE: Memoir
Blurb:
Spanning over thirty years, her memoir shows a life littered with trauma, trials, and tragedy, starting with her dad leaving to work over three-thousand miles away, in the middle of a war, when she was just six. With every chapter of her life, a new and seemingly impossible trial begins which tests Mhairi’s mental and physical strength, and her ability to overcome adversity.
