See all formats and editions
A man buys his wife roses he knows she will not appreciate; a young woman remembers a vital detail she cannot share; a mother finally sees her daughter's true identity. All of the stories within The Memorial Tree examine how we react to loss, be it through remembrance, fear or acceptance. A reflective work that has a nostalgic poignancy to it.

In October 2015 she was also diagnosed with a chronic pain condition – Fibromyalgia – but she refuses to let any disability prevent her from achieving her goal to be a published novelist.

In the past she has blogged for Manchester Literature Festival and her fiction has been short-listed and won Writing Magazine competitions. In May 2015 she had her first short story published in Woman’s Weekly Fiction Special. Currently an active committee member for Huddersfield Literature Festival she left her Cultural Learning Professional life in August 2020 to follow her dream of being a full-time writer and also supports writers as a Writing Coach under "The Write Catalyst".

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, poignant stories by a talented writer

I found myself holding my breath as I read through these short stories that speak to the many faces of loss. I'll admit I had to reach for a tissue more than once. The prose of the titular story and several others is poetic at times, and these stories are beautifully crafted; they made my heart ache. I only wish there were more in this collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly beautiful collection of stories

What a beautiful collection of short stories! I thoroughly enjoyed reading them all and every time I thought I'd found my favourite, another one would come along and make me change my mind. The author has a clear, mature voice and conveys each story in a way that makes you immediately engage with the characters - a real achievement when some of the stories are so short. A lovely read that I would definitely recommend.

Just sat and let these beautiful stories wash over me with a tear in my eye. Brilliantly written and really engaging storytelling that made you really connect with each character. Not like other story stories these lovely narrated tales give you a sense of conclusion which is very satisfying.

I bought this book to read on holiday last year, I finished it within 2 days, just couldn't put it down. A lovely read and I'm looking forward to the next instalment. I hope we also get a novel at some point.

This collection of short stories, specially one of just 40 pages grips the reader in a series of sad but enchanting life vignettes. Well written and succinct, it is of a length which leaves one wanting more. Hopefully we will get it in the near future.
