Reflecting on 1 year since the release of ’47 / A Life With Cystic Fibrosis’
Today marks one year to the day that my book went on sale. It’s a very personal project that means a huge amount to me.
I wanted to write a post that not only reflects on the past year since the book became available, but also on the project itself. It took a huge amount of work to get to that stage in the first place. You might want to grab a cuppa!
